Assuming you are on a H16, a beam reach should be a foot up from the end of the track and the jib out all the way in single trap winds. The reason for the traveler up is the jib will backwind the mainsail. As the air increases or decreases, travel the main full outboard. If backwinding does occur, travel the main back in or lower your steered heading. So, if you travel the main out follow suit with the jib. H16 guys; do I have that correct?
