especially sensitive to contact with them. Those parts of the cloth that
can chafe at spreaders or shrouds should be protected on both sides by
sticking self-adhesive cloth to them. The same applies to the foot of the
sail if there is a possibility of chafing at the rails.
∼
handling sails:
Stick to the recommended wind force for your sails. This is especially
important for laminated sails. Remember, one heavy squall is enough to
damage the aerodynamic shape of your sails forever.
∼
halyard tension:
Be careful with the tension of the halyards because laminated cloth are
much more sensitive to overstretching than traditional cloth.
As a general rule, you should tighten the halyard only to such an extent
that the cross pleats at the cuff have just disappeared.
∼
hauling points:
Please do not forget to shift the hauling points after revving or furling the
sail. If you fail to do so, a wrong direction of pull prevents the optimal
standing of the sail.
This may result in overstretching of the foot after revving, for example,
while the leech is twisted heavily causing it to shake. The sail cannot pull
properly and it wears early. It is recommended to attach different
colored marks onto or close to the tracks, e.g. for a 130% Genoa: green
at 100%, yellow at 70% and red at 40%. Things can also be made easier
if you adjust the track cars with low-strain lines which can also be
marked with colored wrappings.
