Tips from the Top

Sail Trim Tips from Sten ...

in light winds below 5knts I use max cunningham and no kicker. twisting off the top of the sail.

In Medium winds 6 to 10knts I use enough cunningham to take out creases(very little) and medium kicker. to give maximum power to get out on the wire earlier

In strong winds anything above 10 knts I use max cunningham and medium kicker the outhaul is in a position where with max kicker and cunningham the foot doesnt get a crease along the bottom, when sailing on the correct settings its to baggy if it gets baggy behind knav and to rounded up in leach. the boat gets more difficlt to handle. sorry its a bit vague but it will vary depeding how old you sails are.

I sail with the same setting of outhaul for all conditions except occasionally in very very light I pull it flat.
