Of the sails I use I have sort of arrived at the view that my flat sails I have are easier to set up and better to sail with than the couple of cammed sails I have. However I have a couple of cammed sails and yesterday I thought I would have another go with my 6m. Went reasonably well, probably a bit better in the very light wind but the one issue I have is I have to turn right onto the wind, and yank the boom to get the bottom batten to pop, the flat sails pop much earlier and with less wind pressure. So question for you can I get the sail to pop earlier and with less pressure, is it just a matter of easing the pressure on the battens, or????????
