There is a question on my assignment that asks to solve for a force in a pulley system using a Spanish Burton Rig. I've searched google and the text, but I can't find much, anyone know what this is?

See page 34 for a description.

It seems that the winch cable runs up to the end of the whip and the load will hang from its end (like a fish on a hook). In this case the load (fish) are hanging from two hooks - one on each ship?
