Pulleys on a sailboat primarily help manage the sails and rigging, allowing for easier adjustments of sail tension and angle. They facilitate the raising and lowering of sails, as well as the trimming and controlling of their position relative to the wind. By using pulleys, sailors can exert greater force with less effort, ensuring better maneuverability and efficiency while sailing. Overall, pulleys play a crucial role in optimizing sail performance and handling.
