Traveler Position Downwind Sailing
Posted 2019, Feb 27 22:38
The traveler moved to leeward when sailing downwind, especially on a run, can act as a preventer on an accidental gybe, limiting the boom swing and preventing the boom from crashing into the shroud. Generally, I would suggest setting the mainsail angle to wind from haul to run by the traveler and use the mainsheet to shape or add twist to the sail.
