[quote=martinchaplin]Dear All,
Thanks for all your comments. With regard to tacking I do find it difficult to tack cleanly every time, and the boat does end up in irons quite often. After the tack, even if the bows have gone through the wind, the boat luffs up before she has a chance to gather way. I think this maybe due to the mast being raked too far aft. Also adjusting the traveller position may help. Note that the 450 is a boomless rig which may change the way it behaves compared to other rigs with booms. Any help/tips on tuning the rig using main alone are greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Martin.
