An increase in overall rig tension results in greater headstay tension. It is important to mark all your shrouds, sheets, tracks, outhaul, etc. Keep records of your set-ups, the conditions you sail in and how your speed is. It is essential to be able to duplicate settings from race to race and to know exactly how the boat was set up when you were going fast. Check to make sure the soft end of the battens are inserted first.
Mainsail Trim the mainsheet hard enough to make the top batten parallel to the boom.
Once the boat has accelerated and you want to point higher, trim harder and cock the top batten slightly to weather. Set the traveler car up to the inner edge of the windward seat so that the boom is on or just below center line. As the breeze increases, gradually drop the traveler to de-power the main. Use the outhaul for balance. We use no cunningham up to 10 knots, enough to remove most of the wrinkles 11-15 knots and progressively tighter in higher winds to remove all wrinkles.
