Kinda hard to tell that from where your sitting. I was trimming the main
and the top batten was parallel to the boom. It was really light air.

Loco, I was offering critique of Navvie's 'perfectly' set & shaped main. For
some reason AOL will not let me look at your pictures.

For the leach, I like to look at the leach ribbons and the overall twist.
Sometimes it is hard to tell. In Navvie's pic you can't see the leach ribbons
(are they blue, for some reason? Are they missing?) but it looks like there is
no twist at all.

Look more carefully. There are ribbons at each battenb and they are all
flying at that moment. You simply can't see twist from that camera angle
so the twist must be sufficient to keep the top ribbons flying...
