  • To get the fastest speed we need the shape the sail for the best airflow. Because of the effects of apparent wind and the change wind speed with altitude the apparent wind direction changes with height above the water. In this video I show how to safely adjust the Jib or genoa sheet traveler (Fairlead) and how to use a series of telltales to know when the sail twist is correct. This is the first video in a series on sail trim for speed.

    I’m a novice sailor and have been wondering how to go about safely adjusting the working jib car without having to tack away and tack back. This is the first tutorial I’ve encountered that addresses this question and provides clear explanation of methods to make adjustments to the working sheet. Thank you!

      yep. All I knew was in lighter wind, move it forward, and in heavier wind, bring it back, but I didn't really know why.

    9-4-18. Very well done/explained/shown video lesson!!! Thank you. My wife and I were just out sailing. We were trying to learn about and figure out just the adjustments you began with this lesson. Looking forward to continuing with learning adjustments for our Genoa headsail. We have an o'day222 and love it. Ken

      ...as general rules, you want everything tighter upwind, and looser downwind. Also, flatter in heavy wind and more curved in light wind.
