The less work you have to do the faster. Ease traveller to sail lower, sheet on to sail higher. adjust for waves if you have to. steer to as much as you can smoothly.

Thanks mate, I have the main and pip has the jib sheet and the travellar. The traveller is a continuous rope that is alson the main sheet

We try to always trapeze so that when laying flat you can easily see the underside of the tramp.. the waves were pretty big that day so we were slightly higher.

The windward rudder is worth it if you can do it well. It takes a long time of sailing slower because you suck at getting it up and down smooth and tacking with it to eventually get good at it and start sailing faster. The helm is much smoother and less overall drag with it up.

I got some new vids coming soon with fresh angles...

Thanks heaps Garry. Was my first attempt at ever putting footage together.

New vid comin real soon, with much better footage.

Cheers

@jilimbil01 Thanks for the reply James. So Pip is managing the tail end of the main sheet that than is going to the traveler? And you two are traveling the main more so than sheeting the main? Pip seems to be fairly busy with that traveler sheet. I would appreciate more description if you have the time.

Sincerel thanks Scott

You guys are awsome! I have a question. Pip you are managing two sheets the jib and somethin aft, James has the main, what is it you have and what is it doing?

Where are you sailing

[MrSchnik]

Also, you should have a try with a camera angle from further out the front - either a bowsprit if you have one, or just use some old windsurfer mast (works well)

(:

That's real good! Loving the super Low Trapeze adjustment...

How much benefit do you get from lifting the windward rudder? I've thought about doing it, but never actually bothered...
