Hopefully this will prevent another chaoctic power outage as occured during last year's Chicago to mac race. The cable's are made in Europe. They run 3.5 miles, are 5 inches in diamater and have 3 inch in diamater conductors. Under Boom Main Sheets Sailboats typically have one of two main sheet types. One is end boom, where the mainsheet tackle is attached to the aft end of the boom, and the traveler is located accoringly.
Mid boom moves the traveller forward to the middle of the boom along with the traveller.
On certain dinghies the sheeting is mid boom with the sheet tail running through a ratched block. The traveller is at the end of the boom. On small boats of a certain vintage, the sheeting is actually under the boom in the middle. It comes straight off a block on the middle of the boom. A traveller is optional.
