A Line Driver is a clean and efficient deck part whose purpose is to support mainsheet traveler adjustment. It works by connecting to a traveller in a closed circuit and it does the job of moving the traveller port and starboard without a winch. Read the full article on Line Driver

The control system is connected to a traveler on a closed circuit and ensures efficient control and a clean layout for systems such as the mainsail sheet.

Line drivers mount a self-tailing sheave which operates in both directions with a textile “gripping” system that is efficient even if the circuit is not under strain and causes no wear in the rope. This is a solution done for the control of the main car with a simple “self-tailing” sheave on the deck, with a motor and gearbox under the deck. Three sizes are available in 700, 1000 and 1500 W motors in 12 or 24 Volt version.

For the circuit diagram and accessories, such as switches, control-boxes and breakers, see the document Electric system and accessories in pdf.
