Choosing your halyards and sheets
A sheet is a rope used to trim a sail.
- The mainsheet, the jib sheet and the spinnaker sheet.
A halyard is a rope used to hoist or lower a sail "running rigging".
- The mainsail halyard, the jib halyard and the spinnaker halyard.
Tastes and colors are not debatable but differentiating your ropes will make life easier on board.
- The starboard and port sheet two colors and more depending on your set of foresails
- Halyards, the must is one color per halyard, be careful to differentiate the color of the spinnaker halyard...
The lengths, keep your original lengths or 1 m more for comfort and especially for the seamanship of our estropes ready to sail.
