Making your time on the water more rewarding

Are you looking for more power, are you at full power or are you overpowered? 

Check in with the wind conditions and make changes to your sail trim for an invigorating sail or a relaxing cruise. 

⛵️ Are you looking for power? For very light winds (0-5 knots), sail with an open 'twisted leech' and for light winds (5-8 knots) tighten the sail gradually as the wind increases.

⛵️ Are you at full power? Depending on your bodyweight you may reach full power from 8 - 12 knots. This is wind the sail is designed for, so pull in the sail and go!  

⛵️ Are you overpowered? When you can’t keep the boat flat by using your bodyweight then start easing the mainsheet in the gusts, using sail controls like vang and cunningham(downhaul) to help flatten the sail.  

Tip: Stick a ribbon to the end of the top batten in the sail and aim to keep the ribbon flying 80% of the time. Stick some telltales (bits of ribbon or wool) one third of the way along both sides of the sail to help you trim the sail.
