The following pictures show the "Easymatic" system fitted onto a Sun Odyssey 37</div> <bR> <div> The sheet is only 10 mm and may be long-spliced form a continuous loop. The latest Spinlock PX "Powercleats" have been used which enable the sheet to be released easily underload. The sheet end may also be led back to the wheel pedestal to allow the helmsman to dump the main in gusty conditions.</div> <bR> <div> Due to the doubling of mechanical advantage, winches are not normally needed to pull in the mainsheet. This should be particularly useful on the SO 34.2 where winches  are at a premium, being used for the primary Genoa sheets.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="328f4770.jpg" border=0 width="500" height="375" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="32e77f40.jpg" border=0 width="375" height="500" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="32af4770.jpg" border=0 width="500" height="375" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="32cf4770.jpg" border=0 width="500" height="375" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
