Posts: 96 Budapest, Hungary, Europe | Capricorn has a few really great tuning guide, like the Capricorn F-18 Tuning Guide In the point 3.2.2, Mast rotation: "More mast rotation – less downhaul tension = [color:"red"] height [/color] and power." Power, ok, it's clear for me, but hight? I will try it, but I can't see the reason, why. Any idea, why ? Suggestions? Sanyi

Posts: 96 Budapest, Hungary, Europe | I also think it's mean "point higher" into the wind.
From the text:
"If you want to point higher for tactical reasons the mast rotation must be slightly increased and the downhaul has to be eased a bit."
But, I have a feeling, if I increase the mast rotation, I will point lower. Is my feeling wrong ?
thans for the help,
Sanyi
ps: I'm sailing a Nacra F18, not a Capricorn, but I think it is independent from the boat. | | | Re: More mast rotation and height
