Re: Topping Lift - Mainsail Trim - Light winds...

Mark,

I do as you do.
Steer deep down wind especially with care in a big following sea if the main is up (consider a preventer) sheet in and dump the tack. The sail streams forward over the...

Re: Topping Lift - Mainsail Trim - Light winds...

This will be interesting! You must post your experience.....
