First of all, don't call me boy again. Secondly, I know its called vang sheeting but I felt that describing the technique would do more to help briscoe."Another thing that helps is to crank the vang on so that as you ease the sheet the boom goes out and not up. "
Its called "vang sheeting" my boy
Yes, exactly. The point I was making was that you sail be boat based on heal, not on what the sail looks like. This is a huge mistake that most people make once they have become overpowered. Look at what I said right after what you quoted."You then have to trim very aggressively so that the boat stays on the proper angle of heel. Letting the boat heal a bunch upwind is death. "
wrong, you want the boat to be dead flat, in every condition
I have never had success with the sail strapped on tighter than this. I suppose if you are sailing with an older sail it may work though."Outhaul should be set so that there is a hand length between sail and boom, and the downhaul should be maxed out once you are no longer able to hold the boat flat."
outhaul can be tighter, but it depends on the conditions, in waves, you want it looser for drive, less waves, tighter to depower

... and small marine bivalves.
well, in light air, i'm usually loose on the vang and outhaul, take the wrinkles out with the downhaul, main in but not two blocked, wieght forward
in heavy air, i'm as tight as i can go and i do my best to hike out as hard as i can, wieght not as forward as in light air, a little further back
