Neal,
James has given you a damn good appeasel and where you are out of adjustment Lets you and I talk a little about sail trim, head sail trim. That line is to let you see the curve of your sail, parallel to the deck. It shoes your trim. Most salts use the seams on a cross cut but the line is better Adjustments on the head Sag------Is the amount of slack in your forestay. controlled by back stay tension Twist------ The amount of fall off of the sail as you lok aloft Shape (Chord)-----Controlled by Sheet car position, Sheet tension,Halyard tension and leech (roach) length If you look at your "Line" you will see a definite hook leading into the leech. It is a indication of to tight of a leech. Someone mentioned Leech string tension, Ease off on it until you get a flutter in the roach and then draw up on it just enough to stop the flutter. The hook should disappear Check the back end of your line |
