Besides the fact that most probably we have to search in our own sailing techniques and boat settings. This week we measured the old set of sails with the new ones. We did it with the line as described by Northsea, but we also put them on top of eachother and individually put some force on it. Now you can see that the main indeed differs from the old one, but to our surprise the new sail has a little less luff curve than the old one. (allthough the difference is only a few cm's (about 3-4 at the max)There is only a difference in the 2nd half of the sail Measuring with the line shows that the total curve is over 10 cm.




The difference between the old and new jib is bigger. We came from an original jib, and replaced it by a self tacking jib (much smaller) The jib is identical top down, but misses the last 20 cm's. (this is normal with self tacking?)




After that we measured the spreader, and measured 55mm, which could be right reading about the infusion settings and our relative low weight. But is this also right for the Inter? Is there anybody who can tell?

After that we wanted to adjust the tension on the diamant wire. But this wasn't used for some years, and therefor got stuck a little. Wew had to put some force on it (only little) but doing that the whole connectionplate came out of the mast. So we have some renovating to do.
