Rigging a 1998 Ezzy Rev 5 Race Sail
Problem:
Possible Solution:
Camber is difficult to get
on the mast
1) Make sure the batten tension is completely released while snapping cam on.
2) Make sure the sail has no downhaul tension and is outhauled fully before
snapping cam on.
Camber does not flip
1) Camber batten too tight, release a little batten tension.
2) Cam is under-rotated, need less downhaul.
Camber comes off mast
1) Camber is over-bending, need more downhaul
2) Mast diameter is larger than normal, lengthen the webbing straps on the cam.
Sail jerks you forward
when starting off
1) Leech too tight, try more downhaul.
Sail feels too powerful
1) Sail is too deep, try more downhaul and outhaul.
2) Mast is too stiff, check that you are using the correct mast.
Sail lacks power
1) Sail is too flat, try less downhaul and less outhaul
2) Mast is too soft, check that you are using the correct mast.
