Figure 1: For light wind,
downhaul to the first row of dots.
Figure 2: For medium wind,
downhaul to the middle dots.
Figure 3: For strong wind,
downhaul to the forward dots.
1) Downhaul:
Observe the dots that are printed on
the upper leech of your sail between
battens #2 and #3.
As you increase your downhaul, the
looseness travels from the dots
closest to the edge of the leech to the
forward dots that are closest to the
luff.
- Light wind: downhaul until the leech
looseness extends to the first set of
dots that are closest to the edge of
the leech (figure 1).
- Medium wind: the looseness should
extend to the middle dots (figure 2).
- Strong wind: the looseness should
extend to the forward dots (figure 3).
Additional Information:
- Avoid crossing your downhaul line
while threading the pulley, please
refer to the diagram on the last page
(figure 10).
- Do not over-downhaul. The differ-
ence between the low-wind and
high-wind downhaul settings is only
2.0 cm.
- If you feel over-powered, add more
outhaul.
