Reply to: WE PUT GETAWAY WINGS ON A PRINDLE!

[quote=Andinista][quote=nohuhu] You don't have the same ~20x mechanical advantage you get while pulling the top end of the mast. [/quote] The effect of pulling from the top of the mast or through the wing supported by the hull is the same. The only difference is that on the wire you can stand straight and reach further back. If you were on the trap in the same position as sitting on the wing, it would be exactly the same. You can even test it by pulling the wire until you unweight your butt, there should be no effect on righting moment.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Andinista on May 10, 2019 - 05:36 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
