Spinnaker trim - detail 3
   
   
The Barber hauler  is  a  line  with a snatch block running on the sheet, routed via a deck block in the toe  rail  just  abaft the shrouds.  The Barber hauler adjusts the sheet lead  in  the fore and aft direction If  you attach a snatchblock to  the toe rail, you will obtain an extra single sheeting point further forward.

Leeward side  is always the side of the boat where the  boom is located (except when gybing when the boom  might  be  held  back  from swinging over to the other side by a preventer).

To broach  means  that  steering  control is  over- powered  by  an  imbalance of the sail forces. This imbalance  is  self  amplified  by the increased heel angle.
