Guest Chris5876 Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 In light wind (4-5mph), my J/22 Quantum mainsail folds in the middle to create a “hook” causing the wind not to attach to the sail. We took the top batten out and have to hold the boom up a bit to get a smooth aerodynamic shape. What setting in the traveler, mainsheet, or something else is causing that?

cdoyle Posted November 1 Report Share Posted November 1 Put the batten back in. Pull the traveler all the way to weather and then ease the sheet until the boom is on the centerline. Make sure the vang is eased. Also, make sure your battens are inserted with the tapered ends forward. if the above doesn’t work, it may be time for a new sail. it would be good if you could take a picture and post it here.
