Backstay actually moves the draft aft. That’s why cunningham is a required accompaniment to the backstay.

Really? Everybody's trimming their mainsail wrong? Except you of course.

I often see people running with the traveler centered and a lot of main sheet out. I take a different approach for 2 reasons. When in a broad reach to a run, I move the traveler as far out as possible and limit the amount of mainsheet. This keeps just a bit of downward pull on the boom. It also limits the boom swing room to reduce stress on the gooseneck. If I'm on passage such that I will be on the same tack for a longer time, I also set a preventer.

Excellent course you gave. Sail trim is my weakness. I especially liked the cruising aspect and keeping the yacht in a more comfortable position. To me lacking comfort is creating fatigue, and I see fatigue as the antithesis to safety, it’s the cruisers unseen nemesis. Plus faster passages, shorter time at sea. A good reminder for me as a cruise to get more familiar and comfortable with sail trim.

If you're trying to sail upwind but the boat just won't, it's your outhaul

Flatten the main with backstay pressure to reduce heel angle upwind. Try to maintain a constant angle of heel by feathering the helm closer to the wind without pinching while you are beating to windward.

great tips… makes me feel like I'm racing but it matters for cruising in general…

Good informative video, and I like how the top aft telltale was mentioned numerous times as being important. May I also suggest:
1) For boats with no traveler or a clumsy traveler, "vang sheeting" is the way to go.
2) Seek out a good one-design fleet in your area and try to hitch a ride a few times; you'll learn main trim quickly.
3) Watch the "North Sails Trim for Speed" video (posted on youtube) which goes into depth with excellent visuals on main trim.
4) Get ahold of a Laser (ILCA) to kick around in.

not everyone has a back-stay tensioner … and I am a firm believer that mast head rigs should Not have them, because in a mast head rig you are just trading up wind forestay tension for that extra tackle drag.

anyone with a mast head rig is better off spending the money on more frequent rig tuning, or saving it for the inevitable need for new rigging ( not on wearing it out faster )
masthead rigs are designed to be just well tuned rigs ….even the hull on those is not designed to cope with variable back-stay tension … back-stay tensioners are for fractionals, period.
