Tweakers bring the guy to the deck near the point of maximum beam to provide additional control over the spinnaker pole. One foreguy line is appropriate for these boats. Standard Sheets & Guys: Offshore boats over 9 m (30') use separate sheets and guys. The sheets lead to turning blocks at the transom, while the guys lead to blocks at the point of maximum beam and then to a winch. A double-ended foreguy adjusts from either side of the boat. Asymmetrical on Sprit: Boats with asymmetrical spinnakers and retractable (or removable) bowsprits are rigged with a tack line leading through a block on the end of the sprit, and aft to a cleat or stopper. Two sheets attach to the clew of the sail, with the lazy sheet leading aft ahead of the headstay, over the sprit, and outside the shrouds and sheets. Continuous Line: Beachcats install two Carbo auto ratchets on each side of the boat to manage high spinnaker sheet loads. Use 57 mm ratchets on catamarans up to 6 m (20'). Use 75 mm ratchets on multihulls to 9 m (30'). Typical boat length: Small Boat: 6.7 - 8.5 m (22 - 28') Midrange: 8.8 - 10.4 m (29 - 34') Big Boat: 10.7 - 12.8 m (35 - 42') Diagram Ref.
