Well, with the Digital Yacht's vhf splitter, you can in fact have 1 antenna and utilize the vhf and AIS. The splitter has some smarts to manage it all. I agree you can't just simply wire the two to one antenna. Our installation worked just fine, we were able to talk to the cargo ship which was

A transponder (emitter and receiver) requires it's own antenna, which mean you cannot use the same as the VHF. This mean a choice to make because two antenna emitting on VHF channels should be separated by at least 3 feet, and no, the top of the mast is not that large. For ocean traveling, I dec

On racing boats, when the wind is aft of about 50 degrees apparent, the crew rigs an outboard lead for the jib sheet.

The barber hauler is used to pull the lead outboard to open up the slot at the bottom of the main, and to reduce twist in the genoa when you are off the wind. Just moving the lead block forward on the inboard track leaves the genoa with too much twist, either overtrimming the bottom or luffing the
