This trimguide is based on the expertise of Sari Multala, 2001 World champion. We've divided it into seven wind strengths for ease of application. See also Mast rake basics for a discussion of the effect of mast rake.

 

 

0-2 m/s (0-4 kn)

In very light airs you want to keep the sail leech as "soft" as possible and favour speed for pointing. The sheet should be loose, with the boom 15 to 30 cm above the deck and the traveller set so that the boom end lies between mid tank and the corner of the transom. Keep the centerboard straight down.

- inhaul: loose, 5 cm from mast

- cunningham: loose

- outhaul: loose, 5-8 cm from the maximum tension. Max. tension may well be 3-4 cm off the mark - the foot of the sail is a little shorter.

- mast rake: in "base position", approximately 545 cm for a short leech sail (SL) and 555 cm for the long leech sail (LL) *).

In light airs you want to keep the cunningham loose. Never mind the wrinkles - the shock cord in the luff lifts the cunningham up giving fullness and extra power to the sail.
