Hi,
Could someone explain to me what the advantage is of this sheeting system compared to the one I have on my 311 (sheet fixed in the middle, no traveller). Thanks, Gregor |

Hi Gregor,
Well for my point of view, this system it is good for bigger main sails (34foot boats and on, i had a Dehler 36 DB and i did not use it, but i think it will work better on it) because even if you use a big cascade des multiplication, it is still hard to sheet in on heavy winds, and if you want to use the windward winch (the traveller on heavy winds it is to leeward) it will be on the opposite side of the sheet, so with the German system the sheet ends on both side winches ( it is easier on big sails to sheet in with a winch) so you can work the sheet always on the windward side(despite the traveller position).
Good winds.

Hi,
Thanks for the explaination. Clear to me what t means. The way you described it, I noticed I have been sailing on a First 40.7 and the sheeting system was exactly like this. I did not know it was called a German sheting system. Wonder where the name comes from? Gregor |

I think it came first known when it was used on a German Americas Cup entry, hence the name.

As far as i know it was not the Americas Cup, There has never been a competitve entry so far.....from germany ;-( It was as far as i know the admirals cup. This is a little diffrent event
 And in the admirals cup the germans were quite good some years ago. I think they won it 3 times. You may correct me....
I think it was first time seen on the German Yacht called "Rubin".
May be thats the reason for the name.
Here a link to harken with the system http://www.harken.com/rigtips/mainsheet.php
Its called there: Admiral's Cup 2:1 with Dedicated Winch
