[quote=HULLFLYER]Tacking downwind as was taught to me
Set the main traveler just past the hiking straps, jib traveler all the way out.
Set the mainsheet and jib sheet approx 2 feet between the blocks for a ballpark setting
Head up until the relative wind is at right angles to the centerline of the boat
Trim the main, holding this relative wind angle till the leeward reaching telltale has just reversed
Trim the jib in until the top leeward telltale has almost gone
Result will be good deal of twist in both sails for max power
Head up a little for power the bleed it off to leeward easing the sheets a few inches
REMEMBER GYBE ON THE LIFTS, DIVE TO LEEWARD ON THE HEADERS !!!!!![/quote]
