Basic trimsheet nacra 20 one design-1

Basic trimsheet Nacra 20 one design We will be posting the latest perfect trimsheet as possible the next coming months! The information that we provide comes from our international Nacra teamriders. For more info, please visit the forum on www.nacra.org Basic setting for now is 15 cm after the hatch behind the backbeam. To measure, you take the bridletankputting as a reference with your trapeze-line. You swing the trapezeline to the back and hold it against the transom of the boat With 170 kgs on board, we recommand that you use 50 mm of spreaderrake measured between the mast-track and diamond wires. (you place a sailbatten from wire to wire and measure the distance) If you weigh more or less you can have more or less spreader-rake. Diamond tension: To measure the tension of the diamond wires we use a Loose & Co tension gauge wich you put onto the wire and let go. (The expensive one with the two wheels) This one gives you the most accurate readings. The number that we work with, on this tensionmeter is 38 at this moment.
