About Sails
All you want to know about your sails and how to get the most out of them: Ideas and discussions on sail-plan and practical sail handling, about trimming you sails in different conditions and how to extend their life by proper maintenance. This section will grow over time, our aim is to create a reference section of general sail knowledge. So, do keep coming back for more! We also welcome your input – if you have any specific questions, please contact us and maybe we can answer them here. Happy Sailing!
