[quote=coastrat]your hooked...rehab can't save you now. unhook the mast stepping hinge before you raise your sail, i do it right after i step the mast, now re-tension the shrouds. make sure cat is pointed into the wind with travelor and main sheet loose when sail goes up. there are some fine tuning you can do with the out haul car but for the most part just make sure sail is nice and smooth. downhaul main til no wrinkles. your jib is your friend, making tacking way easier and boat more stable. if you get caught in a blow, de-power the boat by loosening the travelor and main sheet. if you get caught in a big blow, let main sheet and travelor all the way out, head up tight and sail with the jib only. if its still too much, your in a hurricane!!
