I loosen and tighten it when shaping the sail along with all the other shaping options. It will go right to left about 10 degrees as you mention earlier, but that it. As far as letting out and bringing in, the traveler works well for me. Makes keeping the boom at center a cinch when you want it. Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

How do you shape your sail without using your main sheet? My sheet releases fine in a blow, but in light wind I have to pull the last two lines out between the blocks then the main will drift out. I always thought it was too much friction, a small price to pay for the power of the purchase. (Ha ha, I'm such a punster!) My line is pretty thick too, but easy on the hands. -Ivan Sent Using my Blackberry 8350i -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Sender: [email protected] Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:09:12 To: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [IC27A] Mainsail travel I have an 86. Same problem. Hardly ever use the main sheet. Poor design and too much friction. Start using your traveler and you will be happy. The only time I use my main sheet is to get it all the way out there in down wind situations. Its your best and truly only solution.
