In this video we will present one approach for adjusting rig tension in foldable trimarans (e.g. Farrier/Corsair) that require you to slacken the rig in order to fold the boat.
This is normally accomplished with Highfield levers for traditional steel rigging, but sailors often want something lighter for synthetic rigging.
This system contains the following key concepts, which could be replaced with any similar device of your liking:
- Stopper: Keeps the coarse lashing from releasing more than necessary to fold the boat
- Fine Adjustment: Allows fine-tuning of rig tension, and to compensate for any variability in the height of the upper Colligo block
- Quick Release: Keeps stopper in tensioned position while sailing, and enables it to be quickly freed to float to upper Colligo block to fold
