7-8 m/s (14-16 kn). In more than 7 m/s you need to start depowering. Tighten the inhaul & outhaul a bit, and also use some cunningham to smoothe some of (but not all) the creases.

- Sheet: tight, the boom touching the deck.

- traveller: set so that the boom end lies on the transom corner.

- inhaul: 0-1 cm from mast

- cunningham: a little tightened

- outhaul: a little tighter, 9-6 cm from max.

- centerboard: angled backwards but all down

- mast rake: in base position *)

As the wind increases you want to start to tighten things up to flatten and depower the sail. Lean the centerboard aft to balance the helm and sheet the boom to the transom corner (click for larger view).

Don't forget to ease the outhaul and the cunningham on the run. (left).
