[quote=DamonLinkous]To get the most efficient sail shape you need to adjust the traveler, basically tight in the center when upwind and 1/2 to 2/3 out when downwind. If you are going downwind on a broad reach with the traveler in the middle you end up with a LOT of mainsheet out and the sail twisted and less efficient.
After saying that, you are not racing yet and just learning the boat so leaving it in the middle and ignoring the traveler is perfectly acceptable, the boat will still sail fine.[/quote]
