[quote=tiger2216]Actually, for a boomed rig, leach tension will decrease initially (and maybe the whole distance of the traveler) as you let the traveler out. The main sheet attachment at the boom is further from the mast than the traveler track in order to force rotation of the mast. For boomless rigs leach tension will always increase since the sheet is already pulling backwards to force the mast rotation (same as for the jib, therefore curved track for jibs).[/quote]
