Downhaul

Due to strong apparent wind caused by the speed of foiling, flattening the sail with the downhaul makes the boat faster and easier to control. 6:1 double-ended downhauls are common, but racers like Bora Gulari, '09 World Champ and Moth speed recordholder, have used Harken 16 mm blocks to create even higher purchases.

Vang

Vang tension is critical in generating the power to lift off. The 16:1 double-ended system also allows for "vang sheeting" upwind to control shape and twist.

Mainsheet

The Ratchamatic® ratchet disengages under light loads to allow fingertip control. Ratchamatics and T2s™ have strong ball bearings on curved races to make secondary bearings unnecessary—which means adjustments are lightning fast under any load. Many racers add an additional block for a 4:1 system to reduce sheet load.
