wind indicator

Post by JBA »

Hello again,

Here is my next question: When installing a mast-head fly to the Typhoon mast-head, how do you know if the angle is evenly split within the stationary arms.

Thanks to everyone who help us get more enjoyment from our Typhoons.

Just "eyeball" it the best you can and then go sailing! After a few sails in various conditions, you'll learn how to "read" the angles and know when you can pinch it a little bit tighter than usual or not. The best part of this task is that you're sailing... ;-)
