Track sliding cam cleats

[panda]

I would like to be able to control jib simply using track sliding cam cleats. Would these work? https://www.velasailingsupply.com/viada ... cam-cleat/

Or: https://www.garhauermarine.com/track-bl ... -cams.html

Panda,

Did you check Blue Water Yachts for a price check?

I use Bill's ez cleats for my genoa (2005 ), they look like what you are inquiring about.

Thanks Ray, yes just did. Looks like twice more expensive.

We have the garhauer. They work great. I run the line thru a turning block first.

I've thought about using the turning block first, or even around the winch to lighten any load from gusts.

+1 on the Spinlock rope clutch. Easy to lock and unlock from the rear of the cockpit.

Yep. Best upgrade on my boat by far.

Yes best mod. Nand forget the winch...

Yes best mod. Nand forget the winch...

Explanation:
Two lines on the winch control one sheet.
The only way to stop (False) hauling the sheet is to haul on both lines (True,True).

Sorry Dave, but I have no idea of what you said

As Russ said, “ I use those cam cleats on my genoa. They work great. ”

Sorry, nerd joke. Couldn't resist.

A NAND gate is a logic gate that only outputs FALSE if both inputs are TRUE.



So, a "NAND winch" would only stop winching if both lines on it were hauled-on.

I will take your word for it; now I'm going to take two aspirin for my headache from trying to figure out what a "gate" is
