Hello Joseph, my name is Davide. Soon I want to mount the second trapeze on a Tornado 21 but I don’t know how to do. Can you please make a video explaining how to mount it? Thank you very much. @Joseph Bennett
Yes, in most boast faster to do the 45 degree angles although on some smaller boats in light wind you may get to your downwind objective quicker by going straight.
Not all sails have windows nor supplied with telltales. Next time out, explain where to locate the telltales on the jib, and the main although on multi-hulls I tend to only use telltales on the leech.
Outstanding! Seems so simple and yet I know people that have been sailing for decades and they don't even have telltales on their jib, and many of those that do have no idea what they are nor how to use them. These are the people who can't get any speed or constantly get into irons. I try to explain it to people. A few take hold but others just think telltales aren't necessary and they say they'll continue to sail "by feel." Buddy Melges said that it is impossible to sail a boat efficiently without jib telltales - I'll go with him. Good explanation on your part by the way.
@@JoyriderTV I was thinking the same thing as I also constantly watch the wind indicator on the bridle wires, almost depend on it. I think there might be something to gain having to sail without it. Kinda like how a blind person develops other senses to compensate for lack of sight.
I have not been paying enough attention to the jib tell tails. Just assumed the main sail, being bigger should be my main focus. Thanks for your knowledge and clear communication on sailing cats.
