Besides just another great
picture of (L-R) of myself, Karen and Michael Kuhn enjoying sailing...
you can see one other important item in this picture. We were practicing
sailing in the harbor so its ok but still a flaw in proper sail
trimming. Our main sail at the very most right end of the photo doesn't
look taught or tight. If were wanting the full power of the wind or
sailing with proper trim, we should of had properly adjusted our
Cunningham. See the rope just dangling on from two points on the
boom (pole that is going from right end to middle of photo) ?
That's rope is the Cunningham, which should have been tightened to
properly prevent that crease in the tack (front bottom corner) of the
Main Sail. Because it the Cunningham has not been trimmed properly
the Main Sail does not have the full ability to capture the wind and
full ability to harness the wind.
Soooo who's fault is it? Mine of
course since I am nearest to it and I am too busy smiling for the
camera.
