The booms are bonded to the masts, so the main sheet is only altering the angle of attack, not tensioning the leech. Therefore, the winch size is what would normally be used for a traveller, but without the friction of the track. Up to 12 knots of breeze, I use 1:1 purchase on Elementarry. 2:1 handles it the rest of the time. On a Harry, a small single speed would suffice, but I would go with a small two speed to allow them to be used for pulling up anchors and crew up the mast, although with the lack of fittings on the mast, this would be virtually unnecessary, except for fun. Not sure of the price, but they are often advertised on Ebay, or can be found in "Yacht Grot" type shops.
I am still learning about the slot, but close hauled, the sails are sheeted very much like a jib and main. Rear sail on the centreline, front one about 6-10 degrees ease. As you bear away, the angles get more similar, although it is not easy to judge. You could probably rig a single sheet setup, but I would include an adjustment. The other big advantage of the schooner is that you can trim the sails individually to steer the boat, which is particularly handy if you have no way on and are near head to wind, or in shallow water.

How big a winch and what sort of price is needed and would they double up to help haul in the anchor rope. In trimming the schooner rig, how much variaton is there between the size of the slot in varying pointing angles sea conditions and wind strength or could the sheets of the two be coupled.
Again, these masts can be made much taller if required. > > Pictures and details of these can be found on http://www.harryproa.com/ If you cannot find what you are looking for, or need more information, please ask. > > Regards, > > Rob > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: jocroome > To: harryproa@... > Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 5:36 PM > Subject: [harryproa] Re: Design questions > > > Hi Mark and all the others who responded to my query. > > Thank you all for your contributions.
