Fantasy reacher - I keep having these visions of what the reacher kit will include, so here is my imagination, partly derived from the photos Chekika provided from the EC Challenge (thanks Keith).
Reacher halyard/backstay. Continuous line with blocker at the top of its normal position limiting vertical lifting of reacher sail. Line passes through a pulley at each end of the masthead itting (which is free to enable the mast to rotate beneath it). backstay/halyard passes down through block at rear of hull, leading to a cleat(*) next to the crew. This enables the masthead to be held firmly from the rear of the hull.
Tackline from reacher Is attached to the bow fitting, with a floating pulley in the line, which leads forward again to another block, so that pulling aft on a line attached to the floating pulley brings the tack to the bow with 2to1 leverage.
That line is itself tied to the crossbar and then led forward to another floating pulley, so that when pulling the line from the cockpit, a further 2to1 leverage is gained (making 4to1 overall).
Tightening the tack line tensions the reacher sail, as well as firmly locating the masthead in a fore and aft direction. This line can also go to a cleat(*)
Reacher retrieve line. Ths is attached at about the top third of the sail, and then passing down through a loop in the sail, so that when the
(a) backstay/halyard
(b) tackline from reacher
are both released, pulling on the retrieve line will collapse the sail and bring it (bunched in thirds) into the retrrieve sock attached between the starboard amas. The sail can be redeployed by pulling on the backstay/halyard first, and then the tackline from reacher.
Sailing with the reacher deployed, the sheets look like they run to blocks on the outer end of the rear akas (but it is not clear from the photos). While it might have seemed logical to run the sheets back to the rear padeyes on the amas, the clew of the reacher is quite high cut, so there is no reason to lead the sheets so much aft.
* The cleats for the aft end of the halyard/backstay, and the tackline, can be conventional (ie line can be locked with figure 8 loop), while I am also guessing that there are cleats for the inner ends of the sheets which can be similar to those already in use for the furling line and mainsheets
I wonder how close my guess turns out to be.
Keen to get one? Me?
