[C320-list] upwind mainsail trim

[Joe Barrett]

Hi Mike, assuming the mainsheet was already trimmed in hard from the
previous tack the traveler we would leave the traveler slightly down from
centerline as the Jib Trimmer brings in the big 155 Genoa. As the Genoa
comes in we would then head up until in a closehauled position. At that time
the boom would be just slightly off the centerline of the boat.
Seems to work OK,
Joe Barrett

Question for you racers out there... Going upwind, how close to the
centerline do you place the boom before starting to work on the other
mainsail controls for optimum speed and pointing? Do you initially
position the boom right on or just off the centerline or considerably
eased from that position?
