A Leach Line is a type of sewage waste system commonly put into place and many houses. My personal suggestion to you (assuming your having issues with a leech line) would be to have a professional observe any issues and make judgement. Don't roll the dice on your property.

A sail has many parts eg clew,foot,tack,luff,head,roach,boom,gaff and many more.And the leech is also one of them.A leech line is basically a line which runs along a pocket in the leech,that would purposely tighten the leech from fluttering and if the leech isn't tensioned correctly that may cause it to flutter.
