By your description of spin sheet tension, I can not tell if you might not have been over sheeted.
It is hard to explain sheet tension.
Generally, if the spin luff is not curling to windward every so often, then you are probably stalling the sail.
Yes it was curling, NOT as much as it should have though. I will make sure I notice this more often next time, I will also make sure it does curl a lot more than it did yesterday.
And how hard is your mainsheet set?
Not block to block, But not very loose either. Again hard to explain sheet tension.
Was loose, very small or minor rinkles on the luff.
this was pretty tight, keeping the mainsail flat on the bottom, or on the boom[/quote]
The mainsail should be fully powered up with all the leeward tell tales flowing. Don't flatten or sheet hard until the sail begins to luff.
Leeward tells flowing in wich direction? aft correct? It was raining yesterday so my tell tales were flat agains the sail, so it was really hard to tell.
