For example, in strong wind, you will add more downhaul and more outhaul and in light wind you will reduce the downhaul and outhaul. If there is not enough space for downhauling and you have mast extending from the top, use the adjustable top to raise the sail up on the mast rather than extend your base. Release the outhaul and then re-tension it. Then, as you outhaul, notice that the foot batten and the batten above the boom come off of the mast when the minimum outhaul setting is reached. Tension the tack-strap until the edge of the sail beside the tack grommet touches the side of the mast.
Slide mast out of luff sleeve without creasing sail.
It is better to dry the in the shade, or to roll them up wet. When rigging and de-rigging, try not to crease your sail or let it flap in the wind. Sand will scratch the sailcloth film and can clog the batten tensioners. Try to roll your sail sand free. Harsh solvents may damage the sail cloth.
