Hi Andrew very very great and informative webinar thank you very much! Some questions, can you share any diagrams or talk more on mask bend with a mast head set up with a running back and Check stays as you show in the video. if I hold the top 2/3 of the mask with the running and checks days do I just bend the upper third of the mast? I have seen diagrams where they show the mask bowed out in the center to flatten the sail? Second question, in higher winds maybe 20 kt apparent, you mentioned not to lower the traveler a lot and to put on a lot of main sheet at this well just make you heal over more. You should keep the traveler closer to centerline and sheet out the main to twist the sail at the top to dump the air and sail with the lower portion of the leech. Would you elaborate on that a bit? This clarification will help me sail my Farr33 more effectively especially as I mostly solo sail.
Hi Wally, depends on boat type but generally if you using your mainsheet to control power and heel angle then pulling the vang in allows you to ease the main to depower whilst keeping some leech tension so main sail stays set and generating helm load to enable you to still go to windward.
in one design, usually do use vang upwind. other comment ( Alby) is a good explanation. also there is a Main sail video in this series that goes over that too.
Shocking this video series doesn't have higher exposure. Really good content, thanks guys.
Amazing content! Some of the best videos on trim Ive found so far!

My boat has heavy non-skid, how to you get the calibration marks to stay in place?
Hi Dan , a permanent marker pens works the best.
@@AlbyPratt How do you get the marks so neat?
Do you use the vang going upwind?
