That's my buddy John- this was one of those shots where my camera was on the mast of someone else's boat & it surprised me later. John has a Harken rig, I can't count the strings in the frame but it should be 5:1 through the blocks multipied by 2:1 through the sail cringle for a total of 10:1. Standard rig & I believe the Holt-Allen setup gives the same purchase.
nice sailing that looks like a hell of a lot of purchase on the downhall at 5:33 what is the purchase being used ? just because im nebby :P
