Thank you Andrew very good all the boats here are racing boats. Is there an advantage in putting a sprit on my boat Oceania 43 ?

What is the ideal heel angle to try and keep in light wind going downwind ~140?
@patcarr86782 жыл бұрын
when you refer to wind angle is that true or apparent? It isn't defined in the video.

How would you trim the Gennaker if you need to go as much windward as possible
@mfbsail3 жыл бұрын
Tack line down to the knot on the pole, very little play in the sheet since the wind is forward and no rotation of the spinnaker.

Great content! Any scenario to ease the Gennaker halyard?
@leonardbohm56043 жыл бұрын
...or do you use it exclusively for hoisting and dousing?
@andrewparkes93693 жыл бұрын
Hi Leonard, the general thinking is to ease the tackline if running square. This allows the sail to fly high and rotate to windward when running.
@leonardbohm56043 жыл бұрын
Andrew Parkes thanks for your answer. Taking from it too that you probably don’t use the halyard for trim (likewise to main and head sail) but solely for hoisting/dropping the Gennaker.
@gkelly9413 жыл бұрын
Keep in mind that there is more wind higher off the water, and the closer the head of the sail is to the mast, the steadier it will fly. So keep the halyard fully hoisted, and ease the tack line if you want the sail to fly higher.

I've noticed nobody in this video releases the outhaul, even in light air. The clews are all the way to the mark on the boom. Is this new thinking?
@danstanford3071 Жыл бұрын
I think easing the outhaul when turning down wind is best practice just like tightening the vang. I think some teams have a perception that it is not worth enough on short W-L courses to always take the time.

@@danstanford3071 I agree completely, and I even have the outhaul on a winch, but look at the black stripes on the boom, their outhaul is tight as a drum.

Helms person, man, woman, driver. Make up your mind! Or why not call it a spade like they did the last thousand years Also tack line? You don’t call it a sheet line right
