In "Successful Sunfish Racing" by Derrick Fries (also part of The Sunfish Bible), he describes proper upwind mainsheet trim this way:
LIGHT AIR
port [tack] -- over the corner of the transom; starboard -- 2-4" past corner
MEDIUM AND HEAVY AIR
port -- 2" inside corner of transom; starboard--over corner of transom
I'm trying to give my 13-year-old son some benchmarks for his entry into Sunfish racing. These seem to be good rules of thumb; are there equal or better?
