[quote=texastuma]hi-lighting keeping weight forward and minimize movements. When the wind is less than 5, keep the sheets soft and air flowing around sails. You will be adjusting both sails constantly; jib first, then main. I only pay attention to a tell tale that is on the leech about 1/3 way down. Keep this one flying and everything else will fall into place. If you have a way to control mast rotation, do it. Try to keep the mast from bouncing with waves. And, if you can use an over-rotator to induce rotation, that will help. I did something similar to what ShortyFox suggested on pulling the clew forward on my 5.8, but I went to the bottom of the mast so I didn't have to readjust every tack. I would recommend placing your mainsheet about mid adjustment on the clew. Use a thinner batten on the bottom if you can. The stock battens will keep the sail too flat for [/quote]
