G'day I'm trying to get the spin on my Nacra 5.8 going, when I get going in proper wind it collapses with me doing wild round downs, we're really untidy even with two on the wire. We can keep it breathing nicely until the apparent wind moves forward then cant pull it flat enough. I use the setup as I bought it with the boat, the halyard is set so I can fold the spin back a hand span which is about 8 inches once doubled back. Would lifting the top (rope) bail up help? The ratchet blocks are on my sidestays would it help to bring them in to the inside of the hulls? I plan to get a flat spin but want to get a feel for the settings. I've put these pics in and would appreciate your input.
regards Jeff
