What is Understanding Fleet Angle in Rigging about?

The fleet angle, defined as the included angle between lines extending from a fixed sheave to a drum flange and perpendicular to the drum axis, has the greatest effect on rope winding. It is generally recommended to limit the fleet angle to between 0.5° and 2.5° to prevent rope piling and damage. Excessively high fleet angles can cause premature rope crossover, gaps between wraps, and wear from wire plucking against each other.
