Pick-up point

In the physical sense, a pick-up point is a point of deflection.

On a sailing boat, a pick-up point is used to deflect and guide a sheet between the clew on the sail and the loose end of the sheet, through a block or an eyelet .

Since different sails and different wind conditions each require different positions of the pick-up point, pick-up points are usually adjustable. This is done either via a carriage on a perforated rail, a pulley-block also (pulley) or a second block that allows the Hole point relative to the longitudinal axis of the vessel to move.

An additional adjustment transverse to the longitudinal axis of the barber hauler (or Beiholer in spinnaker sheets Tweaker for Fock - and genoa sheets also anaconda ).
