em2naught,
the wenches I mean are operated by two men with both hands, like bicycle pedals. I doubt they are about trimming the sails, since the sails do not visibly change and the wenches are being operated ALL THE TIME, they are in constant movement, in one direction. Like pumps to keep water out.  Its also not about the swords I think, since I saw these beign dropped and lifted like dropping an anchor - too fast. And sometimes they even operate them like bicycle pedals indeed: http://www.juanpanews.com/wp-content...5f285082fa.jpg

It seems it is about providing electric energy. The guys at the wenches run generators that provide electricity that operates the foils and wing trimmers. Video at 2:20. Why no batteries? LOL

Isnt it amazing what I can do to this strange language if only I put my heart into it? LOL I blame Catfish, he used first this new word that I did not knew, and then sent all those negative vibes that made me misspelling it.

A bit OT, wanted to go to bed yesterday, but saw Robert Redford in a film on a yacht, and became interested.
Was the film "All is lost" from 2014, had not seen it before. About a single-handed sailor who's boat gets rammed by a garbage container, and his following fight in the leaking boat against the sea. Not mainstream cinema. One man, only saying two or three words in the whole film, but if you ever sailed such a boat it really gets intense. Yes some flaws but not so Hollywood-like. Great film, for me
