RIGGING / SAILS
- From 33 to 38 knots:
2 reefs, 60% of the jib. The trimmings remain
similar.
- From 38 to 45 knots:
3 reefs (or mainsail lowered and slightly more
jib), jib 40%. The trimmings remain similar.
- Fom 45 to 55 knots:
mainsail lowered, jib 40 to 30% quite hardened
in order to avoid flapping.
- Over 55 knots:
scudding, depending on the sea, you will set mooring
ropes from one transom extension to the other one in order to reduce
the speed of the boat.
These figures are given for reference only and are to be adapted
regarding external conditions.
z
SQUARE TOP MAINSAIL
- From 36 to 45 knots:
2 reefs, jib 40%. The sheet traveller is on the
centre line of the boat, the sheet is 1 metre eased off and the boom
is leeward.
The jib sheet is eased off to open wide in gusts.
- From 45 to 55 knots:
3 reefs only (or try sail, or lying to), the traveller
is on the centre line of the boat, the sheet is 1 metre eased off and
the boom is leeward.
The boat would be more at ease scudding in such a weather.
- Over 55 knots:
lying to, sea anchor, or preferably scudding.
z
TRIMMING WHEN DOWN WIND (between 75 and 130° of true wind)
- From 0 to 23 knots:
full sail; the traveller can be set at different
places ranging from 1 metre off the centre line of the boat to the end
of the track, depending on the angle of the wind, the sheet is eased
off so that the boom may be leeward and 50 cm far from the traveller
in dead calm then up to 2 metres when the wind strengthens.
In all the cases, you will avoid having more than one batten chafing
against the upper shroud, in the fairest points of saling.
The jib is eased off in order to have its average front edge facing the
apparent wind.
- From 23 to 28 knots:
1 reef, full jib. The trimmings are similar.
- From 28 to 33 knots:
2 reefs, 80% of the jib. The trimmings remain
similar.
LAGOON 52 F
WARNING
A cruising square top mainsail is more powerful than
a standard mainsail.
Short en the sails earlier, depending on the wind
conditions.
