[Rhodes22-list] R22 Labor Day weekend sailing photos from Lake Manawa

[ROGER PIHLAJA]

Hi Jessie,

As I look at S/V Dynamic Equilibrium sitting on its trailer and look the other way at my now drained Sanford Lake, I am soooo jealous.

A couple of sail trimming tips, for a close reach in what looks like pretty light air, your mainsail has a lot of twist in the top half and the leech on your genoa is curled.  Without battens, you may not be able to get the twist out of the mainsail.  I would try moving the traveler to leeward and tightening up the mainsheet.  The curl on the genoa’s leech can be cured by moving the sheet lead aft.  If your genoa has a leech cord, you may have it too tight.
