Reply to: Nacra 5.0 Jib Lead Angle Experiment To Eliminate Jib Leech Flutter

[quote=MN3][quote]There isnt a jib sheet angle that fixes it because it's the cloth that's stretched out on the leech relative to the rest of the jib. You basically either have the sail recut, or add a leech line as a half fix to take up some of the slack and support the back edge of the fabric.[/quote] a wrongly angled sheet will pull on either the foot or leach and can lead to flogging - so i wouldn't count that out. a leach-line (for me) is the last resort to help reduce flog in a "spent" sail. but this typically induces more cure/hook to your leach ... which is not good so it's a trade off - less flog, more hook - neither good<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Jul 16, 2018 - 07:38 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
