CE CLR This boat is ‘in balance’ and will have slight weather helm. CE CLR This boat is will have lee helm, which is deadly. 37 RACING A BEGINNER’S GUIDE you can achieve, up to a point, by increasing the rake of the mast. Conversely too much weather helm, which needs a larger rudder deflection to hold the boat straight and has a slowing effect, can be remedied by moving the mast more upright.
You can’t assess the mast rake or bend until the tension is on. ) It is very important to be aware that the forestay on a dinghy is simply there to stop the mast falling down when the jib is removed. ) It is of vital importance that the jib luff is tighter than the forestay. Otherwise the jib will sag, and this will introduce excessive fullness (camber) into the sail. This adversely affects how close to the wind you can point on the beat. ) Rig tension is controlled by the precise setting of the jib halyard – tensions of between 90–160 kg (200–350 lbs) are typical.
