| Post subject: | Hobie 17 (main only) Sail Trim |
Hey all. I race my 17 and I'm trying to solve a sail trim problem that I think is slowing me down. I have a Whirlwind class legal sail. No matter what I change, I cannot get my leech telltales, especially the lower ones to stream. The generic info on this indicates that the mainsail is oversheeted if this is the case. But even if I ease the mainsail out they still wrap to leeward. I've tried sheeting out, traveling out a little, downhaul on and off, adjusting the rotator, etc. I haven't fiddled much with the battens but I have the Ronstan turbo batten adjusters and basically have them set to where they just barely give a little camber to the sail. Any ideas on what I can do? The luff telltales are generally streaming on leeward side and mainly pointing upward on windward side. |
