D-Zero Basic Rigging Guide
Some Tuning thoughts from Dan Holman:
1)
Clew – Have this tied down really tight to the boom
2)
Traveller – This needs to be as tight as possible with the traveller no further in the
400mm from the centreline in lighter airs. This should be eased out as the breeze
builds.
3)
Mast foot cup – Aft position
4)
Mast chocks – For the lighter sailor may 10-15mm of chocks in front of the mast ring
5)
Outhaul – Start with 150mm gap and pull on more as the breeze builds
6)
Kicker/Vang – Pull on upwind, progressively more as the wind builds, there should be
no issues getting under the boom.
7)
Cunningham – Pull on progressively from 10-12kts as you start to feel overpowered
General hints and tips:
In the wind just keep her on her feet, maybe raise 150 or 200mm of dagger to help. Off wind
let the controls off and tighten the toestrap for the reaches.
