The wishbone boom on larger sailing craft is a double sided boom sailing boom set at an angle to the mast sailing mast and typically supported by line stays nautical stays from the leading edge of the mast to each side of the boom. The sail s foot outhaul and Parts of a sail The edges luff boom vang vang tension are adjusted simultaneously by the use of one line, called a snotter or a choker. The wishbone tensions the sail at an angle, pulling the sail both back and down. This trims the sail more efficiently than the forces applied to a sail with a conventional boom, with the outhaul and vang. The wishbone is also more effective at bending the carbon fibre mast. The only way in which a conventional mast could be similarly bent is with the use of running backstay s, which are usually only seen on pure racing boats. The disadvantages of conventional running backstays are numerous. They must be constantly trimmed by an experienced sailor, and if adjusted incorrectly, could cause catastrophic mast failure. The wishbone boom additionally is an attachment point for lazy jack lines to catch the sail when it is dropped for furling or reefing .

The Windglider was chosen late in 1983 based on it being more one design as the Windsurfer was made of polyethylene and its rocker could be easily changed with heat and weight on a daily basis. Description The Windglider used a 6.5m sail but the use of a harness was not permitted. The daggerboard weighed around 4 kg and was carried over the sailor s shoulder during the downwind legs. The 1984 Olympic course of nine nautical miles put a premium on the competitors strength and fitness. The supplied equipment was rotated daily except for the rigs .

Image Downhaul.jpg thumb right 300px Cadets man the headsail sheets on the USCGC Eagle The downhaul is a rope line which is part of the running rigging rigging on a sailboat it applies downward force on a spar or sail . The most common downhaul on a modern sailboat is attached to the spinnaker pole , though this may be referred to as the foreguy in some rigging nomenclature. The term is also commonly applied to the Cunningham sailing cunningham on the mainsail . In a windsurfing rig, the downhaul is the primary load bearing line which controls the sail s shape. Modern windsurfing sails incorporate a sleeve for the mast, and therefore do not have a halyard which tensions the top of the sail. The downhaul is tensioned early in the rigging process and is generally not adjustable on the water, and is therefore rather different in use than the downhaul on a sailboat.
