P-15 Orginal Main Sheet Rigging

P-15 Orginal Main Sheet Rigging

Photographs by Ron Parr

There are many WWPotter 15 sailboats whose owners have modified the main sheet rigging. Some have gone to aft sheeting, others to the so-called "headknocker" sheeting.

The below photographs show how the P-15's main sheeting comes from International Marine.

Here is a photo showing the front swiveling cam-cleat.

At the mid-position of the boom is a single block, which leads the main sheet down to the cam-cleat.

From the front turning block the main sheet goes to the aft end of the boom to the rear block and double-linked blocks attached to the rope traveler.
