In this lesson I will present a detailed view on the adjustment of the sail, the introduction of the use of cookies and Web control, while the relative time spent for setting sail to a minimum.

Beginners start sailing with the mainsail. Advanced sailors start setting sail sailing latest on the boat. common for a man Bermuda Sloop, the platform now, it means that the jib or foresail. We will also introduce the veil of witnesses, small pieces of yarn, fabric and red or green ribbon in the middle of the sail hung. To start, we put our boat on the course and everything in this board as we sail “all the way” position. At this stage of the “inside” of the witnesses, members of the axis of the boat must be back in line with the movement of the boat and are aligned parallel to the water surface, while the witnesses are outside flop. To properly compensate our jib, we facilitate sailing slowly. Finally, the movement control with the interior of the witness to go back flop on the outside and witnesses in a straight line parallel to change with the water. If you have reached this point, stop trimming the relaxation of smooth sailing (and slow) until the two sets of witnesses to back streaming. This is the ideal position for the filling. A final word on the sail, but many more sets of witnesses and it may be difficult to get all the series simultaneously streamed back. For our purposes, we do everything down to make finished products, when two sets and the whole community, if there are three groups of witnesses.

Now let’s turn our attention to the mainsheet. We will continue to use only our main sheet to cut our mainsail at this point to avoid further development and adaptation of the vang car. We will focus our truck in the middle of the ship and leave it there. At this stage, with the headsail already dressed, you have probably seen a large “bubble” in the luff of the mainsail where are our headsail has the wind in our main sail, the mainsail is limited. The purpose of trimming the mainsail mainsail will receive checks on the leech. generally along the lamellae parallel to flow back into the water The procedure is similar headsail trim above: first the mainsail fully and gradually ease the sail are the witnesses to back streaming. As for the sail, but they can not buy back all at once. Try to move in slowly and if you can still not all liquids, concentrating on witnesses Mid-sailing at the top of the veil, that where you can find the strongest winds.

Let me say in conclusion that the conditions, so that very light winds, wet sails, heading dead downwind, etc., can not work if the method of the Control Pad. If you navigate in these conditions, my advice would be to return to the simplification of rules for the assessment until you are ready for advanced methods of processing.
