i'm guessing ist's what they call one of the sets of lead adjustment for either jib or spinni sheets ... certainly if give n the freedom a lot of boats potentially benefit from being abl to adjut sheeting / lead angles with a couple of different ways ( see also short whisker poles on some none spinnaker classes as well as the full length goos winging poles) |

Tourettes when it all gets wrapped around your legs and throat as you tack...

I think tweakers and Barber haulers have become the same thing just under different names in the dinghy world, tweaker has stuck for the kite and the latter for the jib. It's much easier to shout abuse at your crew when you don't have to explain which Barber hauler you want them to trim.

Last time I looked at a Flying Dutchman, it strings everything else into a cocked hat. Adjustable mast foot, adjustable centre board pivot, Uncle Tom Cobley and all.
Plus a stupid sized Genoa.

Oh you do exaggerate, no adjustable mast foot, not these days anyway. Stupid sized genoa. Yup

Why does the crew need toe straps? And is that luminescent rope?!

Not many boats use crew toestraps. Kinetics on the run? Or just to feel locked in on the run. Photo lifted from internet. Luminous??

Two questions spring to mid, looking at that FD photo.
1) How long does it take to rig up? 2) How long does it take to tune?
