To determine the correct twist
First position the traveller on the track so that a line
of extension through the sheet roughly divides the
genoa's luff into two parts of equal length. Then, as
shown below, use the sail's telltales to find the best
location of the traveller on the track.
The sail should twist to allow for change in apparent
wind direction with height. When you have found the
correct twist the genoa will luff simultaneously from
foot to head as the boat is gently turned into the wind.
At the same time all windward telltales will flutter.
The genoa has correct twist when:
- The sail is luffing from foot to top simultaneously when you are heading into the wind.
- All windward telltales flutter simultaneously when you head up. |
