An unbalanced mainsheet has a different number of lines on either side. The
P. 15 has a traveler, the P. 19 uses the mainsheet as a traveler. If your boat
has two lines on one side and one on the other you have a unbalanced
mainsheet. The correct rig starts at the port side becket then goes over the
boom and through the starboard block, back through the boom to the port block
to the mainsheet cam cleat. With a ballanced rig the boom will be in the same
position on either tack..
