Joining more regattas in this season I came across three different ways to control the main sail on the upwind-leg.

- The classic way: The cunnigham is set once and the helmsman controls the main sheet.

- The cunnigham is set once and the crew controls the main sheet.

- The main sheet is set once and the crew controls the cunnigham.

It goes without saying that the respective set control is re-adjusted if the circumstances make in neccessary. I hope I made myself understandable ...

Which of the three options do you prefer / recommend?


F18: C2 / A-Cat: Minelli
