Spinnaker Trim - 11/13/05 01:31 PM
I was crewing on an H20 yesterday and had the opportunity to sail with a spinnaker for the first time. Besides the fact that the boat hauls rump once the sail is hoisted, it was a lot of work. Could someone give me some clues as to how I should be trimming? The skipper was doing to usual steer up for power then down for VMG and even lower to depower. We got on some really good runs, but every now and then the spinnaker would collapse. What is the best way to get the sail full again? Should I be trimming or easing when it collapses?
