Scotte gennaker modalità crociera

[kermit]

Questo lo dice Elliott Pattison che sia guru o no non lo so ma spiega bene le cose, datemi un minuto e cerco di tradurvelo alla meglio:

There are two types of asymmetric gybes, the “Inside Gybe” and the “Outside Gybe”. On boats under 45’ long you can usually do an inside gybe in up to 12 or 15 knots of wind. In over that, or in bigger boats, you will usually set up for an outside gybe. In an inside gybe the lazy spinnaker sheet is led around the headstay but inside of the spinnaker, while in an outside gybe the lazy sheet is led around outside of everything. An inside gybe is faster but an outside gybe is safer, especially in heavy air. In either case you start the same, with the “Transfer”. In an inside gybe you bear away slightly while the transfer is made, making sure to stay high enough that the sail stays full and drawing once the transfer is completed. The old sheet is eased as far as possible as you turn down without letting the sail collapse. As you reach this point the new sheet is hauled in pulling the clew around the forestay and the old sheet is let completely go. DO NOT turn the boat any further downwind until you see the clew is pulled well around the headstay and almost the entire leech is visible on the weather side. At this point you can steer down quickly through the gybe and bring the boat back up to the same apparent wind angle on the new gybe. The crew continues to sheet the sail in on the new side as you steer through the gybe and as you come up to course the sail will fill quickly and pop the rest of the sail around the headstay. Beware…if you turn the boat down too far or too quickly before the clew is pulled well around the headstay you risk getting a wrap in the sail which can take a long time to work back out. As soon as the transfer to the bow is completed both afterguys will be completely loose. This makes it very easy for the bowman to gybe the pole as you are steering through the gybe. You can do either an end-for-end or a dip pole gybe depending on the size of your boat and how you normally do it. By the time you steer though the gybe and the sail fills the bowman should have the old guy out of the pole and the new guy in the pole on the new side. He shouts “made” and the tack line is eased off as the new afterguy is tensioned and the pole brought aft to its proper angle.
