Re: Sail Trim
Sails can vary depending on who is making your sail. The stock sail that comes with the 26m is 3.9oz. I offer one that is 4.9 oz and 5.52oz. depending on how you sail.
I also have one that is a cruise laminate with full battens. Be happy your sailboat rounds up into the wind and not fall off, thats when the trouble starts. Drop the traveler down early but keep it off the spreaders, helps with the wear and tear( mostly tear) of the sail.
