Top Tips - Mainsail and Rig Trim
Top tips on sailing well with an in-mast furling mainsail and how to tune your rig for best performance. Sail trim expert and prize-winning racing sailor, Karl-Otto Book of Elvstrǿm Sails, joins us aboard our new Southerly 480 for a test sail in the Strait of Gibraltar at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea to demonstrate how to best use our new Epex sails and in-mast furling mainsail. This is the first in an on-going series of videos about trimming your sails for cruising.
