Trapeze

hello,

I sail for some time on a Nacra Inter 18 with my buddy Arjan13 (active in this forum).

As helmsman i have the following problem:

With enough pressure, I can come out to hang. the trapeze
On the starboard side, I can stand well before the rear beam. Legs straight on the sides of the hull.

However, on the port side I'm with a revoked right leg in the foot strap behind the rear beam and my left leg stretched forward.
(to catch bangs ?) I am strongly drawn forward and could hardly stand when i am not in this position
At the moment that the considerably high come out of the water with the float I can stretch both legs.

Does anyone have any idea how that happened and how I could fix / fix this

Check the following:

1) Is your trap wire wrapped around the side stay?
2) Are the lengths of the adjusters different? I.e there is rope that is adjustable on all systems and the port and starboard side lengths may be different.
3) Are the actual wire lengths different?
4) Is the bungee getting buggered up somehow on the port side and pulling you forward?

I think you have other boats at your club no? Check those and mimic there setup if possible!

Regards,
Sam
