I'm still trying to find the
"best" text on trim that is good for my wife and also for more advanced
sailors. I'll probably order a couple of books and see what's what.



I remember the "best trim" we had on a brand new Beneteau out in Charleston
Harbor. The main got stuck furled in the mast and the new owner tried to
"outhaul it" to straighten it out in the little slot. The boom car on its
little track popped off and little roller balls flew off in all
directions....

We never did get the main unfurled. Beneteau took the mast apart to get it
free and put a new car on the track....with new balls because the old ones
flew overboard. Sure glad we weren't way offshore....
