Reply to: Side jib tracks position on P18-2

[quote=MN3][quote]Can someone enlighten me where the optimal position is depending on course, like forward on running downwind and aft on going to weather[/quote] the avg forward/aft position should typically give you a sheeting angle that cuts the jib in 1/2 (follow the jib sheet when sheeted. it should run up to the middle of the sail). I would try moving the car forward going downwind to induce a bigger pocket.. but depends on the cut of the jib if it will help or not by sliding forward or aft you pull more on the foot or leach of the sail. this will have only minor effect in most situations and i probably would set it and forget it. I have asked others oldtimers about sheeting on the lazy side (opposite jib sheet tight ) as suggested above, no racer i know would ever use this technique as it will mis-shape the sail. i know when i have my lazy side accidentally created i go slower I WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU HATE RIGHTING POLES[/quote]
