And that is between 25 -30 degrees?



Is it?

Say 1' of freeboard - I'd guess that's nearing 30 degrees. What do you
think?

It could be. I'm unlikey to be able to check it for a couple of months.

I've looked at the picture again, and zoomed in on it. The travellor is
much lower than I usually have it in those conditions.

A few years ago I was told that the boom should be on the centreline. Did I
misunderstand, or was the advice just plain wrong?

Are there any conditions where the boom should be on the centreline?

This has really got me thinking. I've never been completely happy with my
upwind performance and I've put it down to relatively cheap sails.
