Avoiding
technical jargon, Jack Klang teaches sail trim using
simple explanations and practical ideas for short handed
cruising crews. He explains how to trim your jib, main,
and asymmetrical spinnaker to create the slot effect.
Cruising
sailors trim their sails to meet wind conditions. When
the wind is light or when getting moving from a standstill,
they trim for power. When the wind picks up and their
boat is moving well, they trim for control.
Learning
good sail shape and steering practices, how to read
your telltales and use your traveler, every crew member
can become a better sail trimmer.
