- From 36 to 45 knots: 2 Reef, 40% of the Genoa. The mainsail
traveler is dead center and the boom veers 1 meter to leeward.
The Genoa traveler moves forward slightly, the sheet is slackened
to open wide in strong wind conditions.
- From 45 to 55 knots: 3 Reefs alone (either storm sail or lie to),
traveler in the center,mainsail out by 1 meter.
The boat will be more at ease scudding in this weather.
- Over 55 knots: lie to, drag anchor or, preferably, scud bare poles.
• CLOSED REACHED TRIMMING (between 75 and 130° to true
wind)
- From 0 to 23 knots: full sail ; the traveler is positioned between 1
meter from centre up to windward of center, depending on the
wind angle, the sheet is slackened so that boom is veering out any-
thing from 50 cm in calm weather to 2 meters when the wind is for-
cing.
In every case no more than one batten should be allowed to chafe
at the shroud at the fastest speeds.
The Genoa jib is slackened so that its average attack angle is head
on to the apparent wind.
- From 23 to 28 knots: 1 Reef, full Genoa. The adjustments are
identical.
- From 28 to 33 knots: 2 Reef, 80% of the Genoa. The adjustments
are identical.
- From 33 to 38 knots: 2 Reef, 60% of the Genoa. The adjustments
are identical.
- From 38 to 45 knots: 3 Reef (or mainsail lowered and a little more
Genoa), 40% of the Genoa. The adjustments are identical.
- From 45 to 55 knots: mainsail lowered, 40 to 30% of the Genoa,
sufficiently trimmed so as not to flap.
- Over 55 knots: scudding,depending on the sea conditions the
mooring lines can be looped round behind the vessel and attached
on the opposite side to act as a brake.
These indications are given for your information only and are de-
pendant on outside conditions.
WARNING
Your boat is designed to sail without the need to climb onto
the roof for any maneuvers.
It is dangerous to climb or stay on the roof particularly in the
event of gibing.
Keep children under close supervision.
