Congratulations to John Porter, our August 2017 monthly winner! John submitted a great writeup about tuning and speed tips for the UK Sails PS1 MC-Scow sail.
Yes, I tape my mainsheet cam cleats, mostly because when hiked out, the mainsheet has a tendency to get caught in the cleat.
The straps are flexible and don’t stand up very high, so I haven’t had any issues with tripping.
I’ve added a picture of the overall layout. The pull down line is the black and purple line running from one board, to the traveler, across the traveler, and then to the other board. The line is plenty long – note the excess line under the traveler bar. If you have a crew, presumably the crew would be sitting on the high side, and wouldn’t affect the ability to pull the low side board down.
I’m working on a better picture.
If you’re the leeward boat, and you are close enough that when you turn down you hit the windward boat with your stern, I think you have failed to give him room to keep clear. The windward boat has no ability to keep clear in that situation. Anyone else agree?
