Sail Trim
CaveLamb wrote:
I have a brand new suit of sails.
I'm trying to learn how they are going to trim -
and/or if I need to have any changes made.
Yesterday, winds 23 to 15, under mainsail only...
I could get all three tell tails on the leach to stream
only as the luff started to shiver (sometimes fairly deep).
The sailmakers said that they had added some shape.
I'm wondering if this may mean too much belly in this sail.
Make that 13 to 15?
