Hey girls and guys!
Just got my hands on Jubilon, a j92 from 2002. It’s in great condition and I’m very happy.
I wanna know if someone has any good trim guide, ive gone thru the group, but a lot of broken links and perhaps i missed some things.
We will mainly race with the jib.
I found the ullman sails guide but wanna know if anyone has something more in depth.
Upwind:
Jib:
Halyard: Gradually tighten the halyard from underwear wrinkles (from 0kn) up to full hoist (around 15-16kn)
Spreader reference: ?
Jib traveler: What would a good base position be?
Main:
Traveler: 50% windward gradually come down to center
Boom aft/ridge: 5-10cm to windward
Leech:
0-4kt Open
4-14kt top TT visible 25-50%
14kt: top TT visible 100%
Backstay: I know this is really important for pointing but how much should I put it on?
Wang: no need
Cunningham: 5kt gradually put it on for speed rather than power
Outhaule: 100% on regardless of wind (apparently comes from guys on Northsails)
Reaching
I come from symmetrical so I have plenty to learn here
Tack: tight
Luff: ?
Main:
Traveler: in leeward
Wang: Top batten parallel with boom
Outhaul: On
Broad Reaching/downwind
Tack: off up to 1m? Keep vertical or to windward
Luff: ?
Main:
Traveler: Leeward
Wang: top betten parallel with boom
Outhaul: off
Haleyard: underwear wrinkles (1-3cm)
Yepp - best is to get out there and to find the balance but I’d like to kick start it :).
Very best
Christian
