4.10. General settings
In the diagrams below, the adjustable parameters are given for a certain wind condition and
course, using it as guide lines will make you get control over the boat more quickly. However
applying those guide lines will not increase your knowledge of how end why, if you are not open to
trail and error and relying on your own judgement. If in doubt, look around, do what top sailors do
and ask why they do this. There is no magic, just experience and understanding the elements and
your boat.
