Setting the markers according to the wind shifts before use Sail close hauled on starboard tack with trim and attention to steering as when racing. After a while you will probably get better lift and the pointer goes behind the green marker, see picture. Move the green starboard marker again until it seems to touch the pointer, as the picture shows. By repeating the last operation when needed the green marker will after a while indicate best lift. Later with no lift on port tack you tack to starboard again and continue adjusting, and so on.
