Subject: Genny Top End
Info: (19969 views) Posted: Thursday 9-11-03 11:11:44 AM
Anyone care to comment/share on trimming the genny in the 13-16 knot range with floating (i.e. inboard/outboard) jib leads? My experience thus far is that the actual top end is largely a function of crew weight (on some light-crewed nights as little as 14 kts seriously puts us on our ear - read: very slow - even with the leads eased and outboard). That aside, my real question is this: when the wind is at the point where you'd consider moving the genny lead outboard (or switching to the #3), I prefer to keep the main travler above center and play the sheet with the vang on hard. And I only ease the lead "up" about half as much as I would if it were inboard b/c I like a little roundness in the foot. That setup typically yeilds a wider slot and so why did I move the jib lead outboard in the first place? Sheeting angle? Who knows. The one thing I'm certain of on this boat is that a hooked top batten means you stop. Maybe my real question is: does anyone think the floating leads are that great? Granted, they make sweet barber haulers when close reaching, and adjust the lead up and down might be a bit easier than with a track, but...
