More or less. As the sail ages and stretches, you may need to add or remove
"hook" in the leach, but it's not something that you should have to
constantly adjust unless you are a dedicated fiddler. Lots of folks never
even know that the leach line is there.

Wedman" , to say:

If the majority of your sail appears to be properly trimmed but just the
leach flutters you tighten that "leach line" a bit to stop the
fluttering.

Ah. So it's a more or less permanent setting?

I noticed my genoa has a light string running up the leach.
Obviously it's there to change the sail shape, but I'm at a loss
as to what it does, or when to use it.
