Better than sailing school! For those that didn't take notes: 1) Know your sail twist techniques upwind: mainsheet & traveller downwind: vang 2) Leech lines: know when to tighten to stop flutter, but not too much to create a curl at back of sail 3) Control Camber (or the curviness of the sail in my words) by knowing when to adjust luff tension and correctly setting the outhaul: loose in light winds, flat in heavier winds. But watch the whole video, lots of great gems!

Hi Guys. Agree with everything you said. Just a couple of things you may want to consider in the next video. (Constructively as an ex racer). Probably the most important thing is rudder position before trim. If the rudder is not central its a brake. Focus on keeping the rudder mid ships. If the sail (s) forces you to steer off centre your slowing the boat. Trim the jib first. even more important on high aspect ratio (newer boats) where the jib is 110 % or less, and 5/8th fractional or less. Three sets of tell-tails two deep on the sail. (or 3 + sails if your a real race freek.) Jib track position is key so make sure you can adjust them under load from the cockpit. Consider fitting a jib inhaul line to pull the luff to windward of the track set position (infucker lines) A huge benefit upwind. When the jib is set bring the main in as you described and maintain a balanced helm. The air will then accelerate off the jib leach and speed up over the main giving greater lift from the main. Which can then be curved higher up on a beat by back-stay adjustment, released as the AWA increases. Not trying to teach you to suck eggs. But, if you want to be first to the marina little things make a difference over distance 😊Like optimum (10 ) degree lean... Dont take this the wrong way, just observations; Ant, Cid and the pooch crew. xx

When I was racing several decades ago, We got this fantastic book called "North U" put out by North Sails, We even copied a few key points onto sticky laminate and stuck them in the cockpit. It was really brilliant as it gave us a process for setting up the sails. The camber stripes are very important as are telltales and I would have several more than just on the leech. Keeping the leeward ones streaming is a great way to help you set up the sail.

You guys need to remember that on the cat you will generally be going quicker and will have higher apparent wind hence can carry flatter sails than a mono. You also have the benefit of wider sheeting points. A couple of other things to keep in mind. The backstay can be used to increase twist as the wind increases and hence exhaust the sail in puffs. This can also induce bend in the mast (tighter luff), and/or a tighter forestay (depending on where your backstay terminates) Be careful with vang tension as the wind increases when you bear away. If it is too tight, it will pull the boom forward and stress the lower section of the mast. You should also release the pressure off the luff as you bear away.

Fantastic stuff Nick! You have different ways of adjusting you main than I grew up with and it was great to see how they are used. We use telltails on the shrouds instead of a hawk at the top and on the luff of the sails. On the luff with 3 sets, one on each side, you can see how the wind is flowing. The easiest way to read them is to make sure both are flowing back together. If the outside tail is flapping but the inside is flowing back you need to let the sail out just until it starts flowing back. If the inside tail is flapping but the outside is flowing then you need to sheet in until they are both flowing back together. This way is not better than what Nick relayed it is just a different way and could easily be used together with what Nick taught. It is all just different ways of getting information you can use. The only electronics we had was our own senses, some bits of bright orange or red yarn and if we were lucky a knot meter. As Nick says you learn to feel how your boat is sailing and over time will learn its best points of sail and how to set everything to make it go best. Those of us who learned to sail on Sunfish, Optimists or other small boats like that learned by simple observable methods and feel. I don't know that I would even pay attention to the electronics for sail trim other than speed. But that is me. Thanks again Nick. I am looking forward to the next one to see if there is more I can learn.

Thanks, really good explanation! Sometimes the seascout methods of learning-by-doing and following tradition comes back to bite you, since I've been doing all these things ever since I started skippering our boat, only learning the "why" of things later. For example the importance of the twist was something I didn't quite fully understand until now, I just knew that the sail was supposed to look a certain way in certain winds. I'll be sure to put this knowledge to use next summer, too bad it's a bit too cold in the Baltic Sea to try it out immediately!

Excellent mainsheet refresher for USS Basic Keelboat/ASA 101 (sorry, don't know the RYA equivalent)! I had a great first sailing instructor who beat into me "Flow. It's all about flow." She meant looking at ways to make the wind flow better and faster over the sails and the water around the hull(s). For those on larger boats with in-mast or in-boom furling mains, the controls are a bit different, but the ideas are the same. Looking forward to your next tutorial on headsails!

After 9 months or so of watching cruiser vids, I've been waiting for an in-depth instruction on how to trim the sails for best performance. My wait is over. But I'll have to watch this episode many more times to "slow down" you lessons. Telltales are aptly named. Leech, luff, foot, and the others will require some reinforcing repetition. Also, I'll have to find out more about the hawk. I presume that indicates the direction of the wind - like a wind vane on the top of a barn. Well done, Nick. Thanks. :¬) Webhead USA

Wow Nick, great explanation! We already tried your tips from the whatsapp group and it made Sirius sail faster one knot. May not sound as a lot but doing 7.5+ knots on a 30ft (9m) boat is quite spectacular. Jouke and I will be watching this video again while sailing this winter to see if we can even go faster.

I thought you should have mentioned that you can have tell tails all over the sails. They are always helpful.. Good Luck and fair winds. André in Sydney
