Steve, thanks for the note. If the wind is blowing 20 plus and it is not a race-I will be on land with a cocktail watching the folks out the window. :-)

While poking around West Marine today, I looked at their laminated sail trim quick reference guide and it was actually pretty good.

<br />Any thoughts on the tall rig vrs standard for trim and stability?
<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">In up to around 20 kts of wind, the tall rig is faster than the standard rig. Above about 20 kts of wind, the tall rig starts to become overpowered. Because it has extra sail area and weight aloft, the tall rig boat becomes overpowered earlier than the standard rig boat, so you need to begin reducing sail area earlier than the standard rig. Thus, the tall rig boat is faster in light to moderate winds, and, IMO, the standard rig boat is faster in strong winds. If you're sailing on an inland lake or other characteristically light air area, such as the Chesapeake Bay, I would suggest the tall rig. If you're sailing in a characteristically windy area, the standard rig would be the better choice.

Agreed.
