Reply to: Traveler and lower block help H18

[quote=MN3][quote]Thought so. Close hauled going up wind. But why not 3/3 down wind w/ sail resting on shroud. And, is there any reason to let out the traveler set in the middle when you're about to tip... just the sheet.[/quote] I use this rule (loosely) for upwind: traveler is centered / cracked off a few inches if i am getting gusted and healing, cracked off a bunch if caught in a storm (to reduce excessive healing) Downwind: i generally will let it out about 1/2 way if i am going very deep i will let it out about 2/3rds if i am going ddw i will let it out as close to 100% as i can and keep pressure on the sail you want to avoid sails on shrouds as much as possible to prevent chaffing[/quote]
