rinvio del paranco e della scotta


Explanation:
Credo che lead in questo caso indichi un rinvio per controllare la vela principale da sottocoperta (in caso di cattivo tempo per esempio: sembra trattarsi di una barca da crociera, non da regata)

Mainsheet: scotta della randa

CFR. *Rinvio*: [...] (mar.) Sulle imbarcazioni a vela, dispositivo che cambia direzione a una cima o una manovra, gener. costituito da un bozzello, una pastecca o sim. Parte di cavo da alare tra un bozzello e il tirante (da Zingarelli)

--------------------------------------------------

*Paranco*: Sistema meccanico composto di due bozzelli, l\'uno fisso l\'altro mobile, e di un cavo che passa per le loro pulegge, usato per sollevare grossi pesi [...] (da Zingarelli)

*Bozzello*: [...] (mar.) Carrucola a una o più pulegge. (da Zingarelli)
