Outhaul

  • The Outhaul is a blue line used to control how flat, or how much depth there should be in the the mainsail.
  • The Outhaul exits the aft end of the boom and attaches to the clew of the mainsail.
  • Increasing the Outhaul tension flattens the main and easing the Outhaul adds depth.
  • The control end of the Outhaul exits at the bottom of the forward end of the boom.
