Image Highfield lever.png thumb 300px right A basic Highfield Lever. A Highfield lever is a lever device which allows tension to be rapidly set up in a wire and equally rapidly released to the required extent. It is frequently used in sailing boats where tension in some part of the rigging needs to be adjusted to a pre set amount as the wind impinges on one side of the sails or the other. It is typically used in running backstay s runners . To make it work, the backstay is led through a block or fairlead along the deck to a two legged, Lever Second class levers second order lever mounted with its fulcrum above deck level. The end of the runner is attached to a cross member between the two legs and part way along the lever. When the lever is moved away from the fairlead, tension is placed on the runner on a line below the fulcrum so that the lever is pulled down onto the deck. When the tension is to be released, the lever is thrown towards the fairlead. When released, the amount of slack in the runner is therefore twice the distance of the attachment point from the fulcrum. It is not necessary to have great leverage as the adjustment is made at a point in the manoeuvring of the boat when the rigging is slack. The significant point is that the lever should be designed to take up the required amount of slack. It is possible to arrange a highfield lever to work two backstays or shrouds by mounting the lever transversely so that it is thrown from side to side rather than fore and aft, tensioning the rigging on one side of the boat as it relaxes the other. The highfield lever was invented by the late Mr J. S. Highfield, an electrical engineer and rear commodore with the Royal Thames Yacht Club, in about 1930. http www.ybw.com cb gloss.html Highfield http books.google.co.uk books?id Fp63wWByImQC&pg PA145&lpg PA145&dq 22Highfield lever 22&source web&ots dtOvGn79kw&sig vDH04nBiAXxluXvIdcGcUdh3i U&hl en&sa X&oi book result&resnum 3&ct result The Language of Sailing Richard Mayne ... more details
