Hi everyone
I do the foredeck on a couple of boats, and I'm trying to improve my knowledge and skills at main and jib trim.
I went out in a dinghy yesterday and had a blast. I just wanted to check on trim setting for beating.
The conditions were around 10-13 knots, with tiny amount of chop.
For pointing I sheeted the jib as hard as I could, put on as much vang as possible, pulled in as much outhaul as I could and sheeted in the main so it was as centred as possible.
Are these the correct settings for pointing/beating?
Cheers, Fobos
