[quote=wlrottge][quote=catmodding]Tested the main, not at the predicted strong winds.
But 5-10 knts. And it is way to flat for those conditions,
Downhaul almost lose (wrinkles out), foot tension loose .
It was hard to lift a hull, and pointing high.[/quote]
Couple of questions/pointers.
- Batten stiffness and how tight were the battens?
- How much prebend in the mast (spreader rake and diamond wire tension)?
- Outhaul tension?
- Mast rotation?
- Most people don't realize that simply releasing the downhaul doesn't automatically make the sail more full. Sails go from flat to full to flat as you apply downhaul tension; too little tension and the draft will move aft and the sail will become flatter.
- Post a picture of the sail maker logo, depending on who made it (the Ullman name doesn't necessarily mean that it was made in an Ullman loft), you can probably get info from the sail maker on the intended setup.[/quote]
