Any tuning suggestion to get your boat to point higher?

Center your mast.
Rake it aft so the boat has helm in light air.
Install an adjustable backstay.
If your main is old and deep buy a new flat one.
Less jib halyard tension.
Put your wife and kids on the rail. Sail flat.




For this boat Ringmaster

Joe,
Spent more than half my life sailing small boats.
Looks to me like those sails are a little tired and that could explain
the flutter in the leech and low pointing......but.....next time
you're out, try just sheeting that main in a little harder and see
what happens.
Might just fix all your problems


Are there any battens in those pockets?
Doesn't look like it in that pic.

Hey OZ,

Will post a picture of the new sails on the boat soon.

Joe
