I've seen references to "maxing out the downhaul". I am wanting opinions on what the delta is from downhaul-on-wrinkle-free to MAX-downhaul. How many cm's or inches do you add on to get to MAX. Not Ronstan numbers please because I have no idea how to convert that.
Are you 2 handing/2 feeting a 12:1 downhaul to get to MAX?
Mine is 12:1 mainsheet in tight and then with 1 hand and bending/extending my knees. I'll S shape the top 3 or 4 battens when there is no wind in the sail. Carbon Mast and Landy single handed sail.
Max really is as much as you can get and then a little more !
