Posts: 251 beaufort, sc | wow this keeps coming up. any slack in the jib luff wire will create a curved leading edge jib luff. that equals a fuller more curved jib shape. not fast upwind though good for reaching. my suggestion is to make sure you have enough jib halyard tension so that sailing hard to wind the fore stay is still a little slack and all the load is on the jib wire to create the best entry and the flattest jib upwind.
