I just purchased a Milwaukee 2809-20 M18 for raising the sail on my 30 Ultra. I am legitimately concerned about busting the halyard with this powerful tool.
I plan to mark my halyard coming into the cockpit to know when to stop and hand crank the last few inches. To help me think through this, what is the play in inches from when the halyard is completely hardened up to the maximum it would be let out for light winds on a run? All opinions welcome. I understand there is no “right” answer and everyone’s rigging and sails are different. Looking for diversity in opinions and experiences.
Many thanks.
