What's Stopping Your Upwind Pointing? Q+A LIVE
Why does your boat seem to point lower than everyone else?
This week's lead question comes from an FX One sailor who found himself sailing significantly lower upwind than the rest of the fleet despite having a well-maintained boat and following the tuning guide.
We'll be looking at:
• Crew weight
• Mast rake
• Rig tension
• Diamond wire settings
• Jib halyard tension
• Sail shape
• Board position
• Steering technique
• And the common mistakes that stop sailors pointing as high as they should
If you've ever wondered why other boats seem to sail higher upwind, this one is for you.
