Sail setting If the sails are too tight or too slack, the boat will slow down. For optimum speed, release the sail until it just

starts to flap and then tighten it again until it just stops flapping.

Pull the clew outhaul so there is a maximum 5cm curve in the sail at the mid point of the boom.

Use the kicking strap when sailing upwind, particularly when windy. Pull on the Cunningham or downhaul progressively as the wind starts to overpower the boat.

Boat balance For optimum speed your boat should be flat in the water. Use your weight to balance the boat and be prepared to release the mainsheet to keep the boat flat. You may need to move your weight quickly if the wind gusts or drops suddenly.
