I have seen various websites/ logs that encourage a sailor to ease the pole forward to move the spinnaker a little to leeward to avoid an accidental gybe, the idea being to reduce the pressure pulling the boat around on the windward side. Any comment about that? The constant message in this webinar seemed to be to keep the pole aft. I saw some pictures in the webinar of boats with the pole back and the spinnaker substantially over on the windward side and the boat heeling to windward and frankly they scared me!!
Any thoughts on when the clew drifts past the headstay...often in moderate air? Is that fast? Or would it be better to trim in to keep it from going that far?
Great contest, the whole series! Thanks for sharing this here. I have a question on hoist hights. On my fractional rig I have the standard spinnaker halyard outlet 90cm above the hounds and an option to "choke" it down to right above the hounds. When should we use this lower hoist position? We assume it should help when pointing as high as possible under spinnaker in stronger winds, but in practice its hard to tell any difference. What says the theory? Thanks for tipps.

Amazing video packed with info I want to use.
What do I do in light to moderate air when the clew wants to drift past the head stay?
Got it! Move the pole further aft than you think, but not too far aft 👍 no but actually great and informative video
Comprehensive!!!
Thank you 🙏🏻
1:10 Symmetric Spin Initial Trim
12:14 Moderate Air
Great diagrams, thank you!
Nice video....the same principles apply to the small boat sailing in radio sailing

Again a very clear presentation 👏👏
Hello, would it be possible to get the slideshow of this presentation? Thanks! Awesome work

Hi, do these tips apply when sailing under gennaker? Thanks
Hello. When is the next one? Presumably on Asymmetrics?
