When explaining sail trim to new sailors I like to use the high school science experiment analogy. Change one sail variable across the boat and check speed. Modify if necessary and recheck.in the desire to satisfy many new trimmers change too many settings too often.
Perhaps some extra explanation about the role of in haulers where fitted versus car fwd/back position would be useful. Many thanks. Now to get sailing when we’re stuck onshore on covid 19 restrictions (Melbourne AUS) Can you help with this as well? (lol)

What does "pushes the bow down" mean?
