Fair Wind Sailing School Sailing Lessons: intermediate wing Trim

In this lesson I will present a detailed overview of sail trim, which presents the use of lights and more stories of the sail controls, while maintaining the relative time spent on sail trim to a minimum.

Beginners start adjusting sail with the mainsail. More advanced sailors sail trim beginning of most on the candle on the boat. For a typical Bermuda sloop, the most common platform today, that means the arm or ratchet. We will also introduce the navigation indicator tales, small pieces of green and red thread, cloth or hung on the tape about half of the sail. To begin, we put our boat on a steady course and although in that case, sheet the sail to the "full lock position." At this point, the "inside" stories, they say, those closest to the centerline of the boat should be pointing back in line with the movement of boat and parallel to the water, while the lights-out stories about the dissolution. To cut correctly our headsail, which facilitate the slow sailing. Finally, movement witness will change with lights inside stories lie on the outside lights and stories flowing again in a straight line parallel with the water. When you have reached this point, stop facilitate the candle and gently (and slow) cut in until the two sets of tell-tales are streaming back. This is the ideal setting position. A final note on candles fore, many will have several sets of lights-tales and may be difficult to get all stern drive assembly simultaneously. For our purposes, we cut to the bottom set of tell-tales when two sets and the media set when there are three sets of tell-tales.

Now, let's turn our attention in the mainsail. We will continue using only our mainsheet to trim our sail at this point, continuing to avoid the adjustment of the boom vang and the car passenger. Us focus our car traveling via ship and leave it there. At this point, with the headsail and cut, which is likely to see a large bubble over luff of the mainsail when our headsail has become the wind in our sail if the mainsail is trimmed out. The aim of the mainsail trim is to ensure that mainsail-tell stories, located on the leach of the sail, usually along the strips parallel to stream back into the water. The procedure is similar to flange Genoa: start with the main sail all the way and gradually ease the sail until the indicator stories are flowing backward. As with the headsail, all can not simultaneously listen to Stern. Try to move in and out slowly, if you still can not get them all flowing, focus on indicator or stories from mid-candle at the top of the sail, which is where the strong wind.

Finally, let me point out that conditions exist such as very light winds, wet sail in the wind down dead, etc, when the witness compensation method can not work. When you are navigating in these conditions, my advice would be to return to the simplification of standards setting until you are ready for advanced fitting methods.
