Tuning and Sail Trim Tuning and Sail Trim Tuning and Sail Trim TuningPaul Abdullah and Sail Trim Topics 1.Rig Tips 2. Mainsail Trim 3. Headsail Trim 4. Spinnaker Trim Rig Tuning Rig Tuning – Important points All Boats are different, but here’s some common areas to focus on: ► 1. Mast Centering ► 2. Mast Rake ► 3. Butt (Base) Position ► 4. Pre-Bend ► 5. Side-to-side ► 6. Bendiness Rig Tuning – Centering the Mast ► 1. Measure from point A to B and divide in half to find the center of the boat, position center of mast to that point ► 2. Swing jib halyard from point A to B and make sure they are the same length, this will ensure the hounds are in the center of the boat Rig Tuning - Rake ► Rake affects the center of effort/center of resistance (HELM!) ► Max rake increases weather helm to balance the boat Rig Tuning – Mast Butt Position ► Moving the mast aft to its’ correct setting will induce pre-bend. ► Most One-Designs have the mast butt location in the Tuning Guide. Rig Tuning – Pre Bend ► What is Pre-bend? The “natural” bend where the mast is tuned ► Important to set pre- bend because sailmakers build sails to a measurable pre-bend setting Rig Tuning – Pre Bend Rig Tuning – Side to Side ► To check side bend sight up the back of the mast ► If the lowers are too loose the tip will poke to weather and the middle will sag to leeward ► If the lowers are too tight the tip will fall off to leeward and the middle will poke to weather Rig Tuning – Lower Tension ► 1. In heavy air poke to weather in the middle of the mast will depower the mainsail by opening up the upper leech ► 2. A straight mast fits the designed shape of the sail for most conditions ► 3. In light air sag to leeward in the middle of the mast will power up the main by firming up the leech Rig Tuning – Mast Bend ► 1. Draft position moves aft as the mast bends ► 2. Cunningham tension moves the draft forward Rig Tuning – Mast Bend Lots of prebend Little prebend Rig Tuning So…..What’s Important??? 1) Mast – Centered in the boat 2) Mast – Rake set to balance boat 3) Develop a PERSONAL TUNING GUIDE 4) Bend – To match sails (Prebend) 5) Sight up the mast/main track a) At the dock b) On the water in 10 knots Mainsail Trim Mainsail Trim – Mechanisms 1) GEAR CHANGES = Speed 2) Mainsheet 3) Traveler 4) Controls -Vang -Cunningham -Outhaul -Backstay Mainsail Trim ► Easing the mainsheet opens the leech and decrease weather helm, making the boat easier to sail straight – I.E. 1st Gear ► Oversheeting the mainsheet will close the leech, increasing weather helm and making the bow want to point up – I.E. 3rd Gear Mainsail Trim Eased Look 1st Gear – Top Batten Open *Accelerate! Mainsail Trim Overtrimmed Look 3rd Gear – Top Batten Closed *Point Mode Mainsail Trim – 3 Gears! 1st Gear 2nd Gear 3rd Gear Mainsail Trim - Traveler ► 1. The traveler changes power in the mainsail by changing the angle to the wind ► 2. The traveler will also affect pointing ability ► 3. No Traveler? VANG SHEET!! Laser, new vang Snipe Thistle Mainsail Trim - Traveler Mainsail Trim - Vang ► 1. Vang affects lower mast bend and leech tension ► 2. A tight vang allows you to ease the mainsheet without losing leech tension ► DO YOU HAVE DECK STEPPED MAST –or- KEEL STEPPED MAST Mainsail Trim - Controls ► Cunningham Affects the draft position Mainsail- Over-Bend Wrinkles Mainsail Trim TWIST vs. HOOK Draft Forward – Big Twist Draft Middle – Perfect Trim Mainsail Trim - Outhaul ► 1. A loose outhaul makes the bottom of the main fuller for more power ► 2. A tight outhaul flattens the bottom of the sail and opens the lower leech Mainsail Trim Loose Outhaul Closes Slot Slot Management Mainsail Trim – Using theTelltail ► 1.The mainsail is overtrimmed when the telltale curls to leeward ► 2. Slight overtrim on the main puts the boat into point mode Mainsail Trim Flowing Stalled Use the top telltail as a Trim Guide only Twist vs. Hook ►Twist is used To INCREASE FLOW ►To gain speed out of a tack ►To accelerate out of tacks (but sacrifices height) ►To “bleed” pressure ►Hook is used To DECREASE FLOW ►Captures more air Increases Helm Increases Point (but slows you down) Mainsail Trim So…..What’s Important??? 1) Know the boat’s GEARS 2) Communicate with helmsman 3) Set & Mark your controls a) Vang b) Cunningham c) Outhaul 4) Use your reference points a) Telltails b) Trim points (corner of boat) Headsail Trim Headsail Trim – Lead Placement ► 1. Low aspect headsails sheet at an angle nearly bisecting the leech and foot ► 2. High aspect sails sheet more directly up the leech ► 3. Moving the lead forward will close the leech for power, moving it aft will open the leech to depower Headsail Trim - Reference ► Mark your Spreaders ► Gives trimmers visual reference ► Gives trimmers/helmsman verbal reference ► Place marks to correlate with the “GEARS” for your particular boat Trim Guides Mark your spreaders!!! Establish Communication Establish Communcation!!! Driver Main Trimmer Genoa Trimmer Headsail Trim – Luff Sag ► Headstay sag increases depth in the headsail to add power ► Sag controls sail entry, deep for chop, fine for flat water Headsail Trim – Luff Sag ► Sag can be controlled through backstay and shroud tension Headsail Trim – Telltail Flow ► Proper trim allows the wind to flow evenly on both sides of the sail, telltales flow aft ► Overtrimming stalls the windflow on the backside of the sail, creating vortices that spin the telltale Headsail Trim So…..What’s Important??? 1) Know the boat’s GEARS 2) COMMUNICATE with helmsman a) Where are you trimmed? 3) Set & Mark your controls a) Backstay b) Lead Position c) Halyard tension 4) Use your reference points a) Spreader Marks Spinnaker Trim Spinnaker Trim ► What are the two fool-proof rules- of-thumb in judging pole height? ► ENDS ► CENTER SEAM Spinnaker Trim Center Seam in line with the mast Even Clews Spinnaker Trim – Pole height Reaching ► 1. Pole too high flattens the luff and moves the draft aft, closing the leech ► 2. Lowering the pole moves the draft forward and opens the leech ► CONTROLS ENTRY/EXIT Spinnaker Trim ► As a rule, the spinnaker pole should be square to the wind Downwind Mainsail Trim ► 1. Too little vang allows too much twist and flattens the top of the main, depowering the sail ► 2. Vang on decreases twist and makes the top of the main deeper and more powerful Downwind Trim – Main Twist PERFECT! TOO MUCH TWIST! Downwind Trim – Perfect twist Top Batten Watch Telltail Parallel to boom Make sure it is not Stalled!!! Twist in Main - Downwind Vang on Please! Spinnaker Trim So…..What’s Important??? 1) Pole Height & Effects 2) Pole Position to the wind 3) Watch your signs a) Clew height b) Center Seam 4) Work the curl! 5) Communicate with driver Spin Trim- Perfect Balance!.

West Bayshore Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684 231-946-2647 [email protected] (c) Maritime Heritage Alliance 2011 1 1770's WELCOME History of the 1770's British Armed Sloop, WELCOME About mid 1700’s John Askin came over from Ireland to fight for the British in the American Colonies during the French and Indian War (in Europe known as the Seven Years War). When the war ended he had an opportunity to go back to Ireland, but stayed here and set up his own business. He and a partner formed a trading company that eventually went bankrupt and Askin spent over 10 years paying off his debt. He then formed a new company called the Southwest Fur Trading Company; his territory was from Montreal on the east to Minnesota on the west including all of the Northern Great Lakes. He had three boats built: Welcome, Felicity and Archange. Welcome is believed to be the first vessel he had constructed for his fur trade. Felicity and Archange were named after his daughter and wife. The origin of Welcome’s name is not known. He had two wives, a European wife in Detroit and an Indian wife up in the Straits. His wife in Detroit knew about the Indian wife and had accepted this and in turn she also made sure that all the children of his Indian wife received schooling. Felicity married a man by the name of Brush (Brush Street in Detroit is named after him).

  • Mast Furling Installation Guide
    NORTH SAILS MAST FURLING INSTALLATION GUIDE Congratulations on purchasing your new North Mast Furling Mainsail. This guide is intended to help better understand the key construction elements, usage and installation of your sail. If you have any questions after reading this document and before installing your sail, please contact your North Sails representative. It is best to have two people installing the sail which can be accomplished in less than one hour. Your boat needs facing directly into the wind and ideally the wind speed should be less than 8 knots. Step 1 Unpack your Sail Begin by removing your North Sails Purchasers Pack including your Quality Control and Warranty information. Reserve for future reference. Locate and identify the battens (if any) and reserve for installation later. Step 2 Attach the Mainsail Tack Begin by unrolling your mainsail on the side deck from luff to leech. Lift the mainsail tack area and attach to your tack fitting. Your new Mast Furling mainsail incorporates a North Sails exclusive Rope Tack. This feature is designed to provide a soft and easily furled corner attachment. The sail has less patching the normal corner, but has the Spectra/Dyneema rope splayed and sewn into the sail to proved strength. Please ensure the tack rope is connected to a smooth hook or shackle to ensure durability and that no chafing occurs. NOTE: If your mainsail has a Crab Claw Cutaway and two webbing attachment points – Please read the Stowaway Mast Furling Mainsail installation guide. Step 2 www.northsails.com Step 3 Attach the Mainsail Clew Lift the mainsail clew to the end of the boom and run the outhaul line through the clew block.

  • Mainsail Trim Pointers, Reefing and Sail Care for the Beneteau Oceanis Series
    Neil Pryde Sails International 1681 Barnum Avenue Stratford, CT 06614 203-375-2626 [email protected] INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AND TECHNICAL OFFICE Mainsail Trim Pointers, Reefing and Sail Care for the Beneteau Oceanis Series The following points on mainsail trim apply both to the Furling and Classic mainsails we produce for Beneteau USA and the Oceanis Line of boats. In sailing the boats we can offer these general ideas and observations that will apply to the 311’s through to the newest B49. Mainsail trim falls into two categories, upwind and downwind. MAINSAIL TRIM: The following points on mainsail trim apply both to the Furling and Classic mainsail, as the concepts are the same. Mainsail trim falls into two categories, upwind and downwind. Upwind 1. Upwind in up to about 8 knots true wind the traveler can be brought to weather of centerline. This ensures that the boom will be close centerline and the leech of the sail in a powerful upwind mode. 2. The outhaul should be eased 2” / 50mm at the stopper, easing the foot of the mainsail away from the boom about 8”/200mm 3. Mainsheet tension should be tight enough to have the uppermost tell tail on the leech streaming aft about 50% of the time in the 7- 12 true wind range. For those with furling mainsails the action of furling and unfurling the sail can play havoc with keeping the telltales on the sail and you may need to replace them from time to time. Mainsail outhaul eased for light air upwind trim You will find that the upper tell tail will stall and fold over to the weather side of the sail about 50% of the time in 7-12 knots.

  • Sail Measurement Form
    Sail Measurement Form Sailrite has en extensive database of standard boat rig specifications and, in most cases, no further information is required to prepare a sail. However, if you have a custom or modified rig, please fill out this sail measurement form completely and return to us. A proper fitting sail is only as good as the measurements used to cut the fabric. We recommend keeping a copy of this form and accurate measurements of your sails to reference the next time a sail quote is needed. 1. GENERAL RIG SPECIFICATIONS I ______ Height of foretriangle. Measured from deck level along the forward edge of the mast to the intersection of the forestay and mast. Prior to the IOR rule, this was defined as ‘P2’. J ______ Base of the foretriangle. Measured from the front of the mast horizontally to the intersection of the forestay and deck. P ______ Longest reach of the mainsail along the mast. Measured from the top of the boom to the black band at the masthead or P2 P I2 I highest point of the halyard. E ______ Longest reach of the mainsail along boom. An outer band is used to limit stretch for rating purposes. Prior to the IOR, this measurement was designated ‘B’. I2 ______ Height of foretriangle to the inner forestay. Measured from the deck. J2 ______ Base of the foretriangle to the inner stay. P2 ______ Longest reach of the mizzen along its mast. E2 ______ Longest reach of the mizzen along its boom.

Dagcforde Gregory A. Jirak Abstract i ----..------ The MAINSAIL programming language and the supporting implementations have been developed over the past five years as an integrated approach to a viable machine-independent system suitable L for the dcvelopmcnt of large, portable programs. Particular emphasis has been placed on minimizing the effort involved in moving the system to a new machine and/or operating system. For this reason, almost all of the compiler and runtimc support is written in MAINSAIL, and is utilized in L each implementation without alteration. This use of a high-level language to support its own implementation has proved to be a significant advantage in terms of documentation and maintenance, without unduly affecting the cxccution speed.
