Rope purchases

Purchase systems for Code zero's and Asymmetric spinnakers have a couple of common purposes. 2:1 Halyards which provide excellent fine tune of halyard / luff tension particularly on Code Zeros. 2:1 or 3:1 purchases under the drum which are also used to luff tension and are an essential component when using a halyard lock. These 2:1 and 3:1 purchases are matched to the furling system SWL. It is generally recommended to match brands to ensure compatibility with the furling drum/swivel. 2:1 blocks, shackles and 3:1 Friction sheaves can also serve as useful tools in various other sailing systems. 2:1 shackles are commonly used on 2:1 mainsail halyards on small sports boats.

We like to use the 3:1 Friction sheave on the bottom of a composite inner forestay, for example, to create stay tension for use with a staysail and storm jib with soft hanks.
