SAIL TRIM - Part 1

Join us for the first of three relaxed and informative winter evenings at the club. This off season series is all about learning something new, catching up with friends, sharing good food, enjoying a drink, and having a laugh.

The session will run for approximately 90 minutes, including a short break.

Key Points:

  • How to optimise sail shape for different wind and sea state conditions, for upwind/downwind/across wind.
  • Understand the key components of sail power, being angle of attack, draft, sail twist, sail-boat balance and steering
  • Active demonstration of the effects of control lines on sail shape using a computerised Sail Trim simulator
Upcoming sessions: July and August.
