The famous knot to tighten the sail below: Head of Alondra
Very good all vientolocos.
Many people left hands straining sails, particularly those of racing. Others will buy inventions to tighten, which can be very well but you have to spend money and buy them.
I'll show you a knot to tighten the sail using a tube of something to pull it. It can be a wrench, a length of boom or easier still harness the tube.
Leave it with a hammer with wooden handle, once I left one.
Once we set sail and stretched by hand without hurting ourselves, we take the loop out and we like the picture.

Now that bond the fold.
- If doing the loop has been the place over, we turned up.
- If in making the link is below us, we make it down.

Now we take anything to put it in between. In this case I have a piece of boom. We put sandwiched between the lines.
 |
We give the chichote tironcillo (end of rope) to be tense.
 |
And that's it. Now grab the tube and we can tighten the sail comfortably without us harm. Beware back!
When we finished, we took the tube and give a strong pull to chichote. No, do not do that that will tighten and no one will let go.
That is, nothing happens. Hence there is no knot you'll see.
By the way, the knot is called Lark's Head.
