Top Five Adjustments To Make Your J22 Perform Better

[shavdog]

My opinion:

 

1. Spend more time driving your boat.

 

2. New sails.

 

3. Have one of the class sailmakers spend a regatta with you teaching you the finer points of mast tune and sail trim.

 

4. Keel job.

 

5. Bottom job.

 

Then again, what do I know?

Well, getting information from the best.....theres nothing more to ask for...thanks.

1. Go low before you try to go high upwind.

2. Get away from the weather mark fast, so go high before you go low.

3. Tight sails and crew are slow too.  Don’t oversheet or over serve.

4. Focus on smooth turns, tacks and gybes.

5.The point wants to point naturally if it is fair and tuned. Figure out how to let it run.

 

Just my opinion.
