Hi everyone. I have a question regarding mechanic hoist system of a sailboat. Thanks a lot for your help. Cheers.

Your team have been commissioned to design a system to hoist a 250Kg sail up a 35m mast using a winch on a competition class yacht. Speed of hoist is of the essence and the client would prefer that only one grinder (crew) is used.

 

 

List the assumptions that need verification and the calculations that need to be done in order to achieve a satisfactory conclusion to this commission.

 

 

A brief explanation as to why you have included each item should be presented.

You are gonna need to put some legwork in as well! I am sure the members will be willing to help - but only once we have seen that you have been thinking about the problem first
