One more thing that confuses me, reading another thread I remember this.
When I turn my wench handle on my wench clockways the drum turns clockways and the rope attached to the front sail pulls the front sail tighter, but when I turn the wench handle counter clockwise to make the rope on the front sail more looser, the drum on the wench continues to turn clockways and the front sail goes tighter instead of looser.
I don't get it.
(if you guys are done with this thread we can move on, but I thought of this while reading the
winch thread)
