Neil Pryde

TRIM GUIDE

1. DOWNHAUL
A. Slide mast into mastsleeve
B. Set your Neil Pryde extension to the
printed setting
C. Thread line as shown. Race and
slalom sails should be rigged using the
6:1 technique. Wave and Freestyle sails
where downhaul tension is required
can be rigged using the 4:1 Loop-
Loop-Pull technique.
D. Downhaul sail until tack-fitting is
aligned with edge of extension (as
shown)
E. In stronger winds, you can increase
downhaul by approximately 1cm
F. In lighter winds, you can release
downhaul by approximately 1cm

2. OUTHAUL
A. Set your Neil Pryde boom at the
setting shown on the tack of the sail.
B. Thread line as indicated, using the
Loop-Loop-Pull technique.
C. Outhaul the sail until neutral (as
shown right). You will add 3–4cm of
outhaul on a wave sails, and 1–2 cm
on a slalom/freeride sail.
D. In lighter winds, you can release
the outhaul by approximately 1–2cm,
and more on race and slalom sails.
E. In stronger winds, you increase the
outhaul by approximately 1–2cm.

3. BOOM POSITION
A. Set the boom at chest level.
B. According to sailing style and wind
conditions, you can set the boom lower
or higher within a range of
approximately 15cm up or down.
Lower = more control in strong winds
or in wave sailing conditions.
Higher = early planing and better
upwind performance.
4. BATTEN TENSION
All battens are factory tuned, but you
should always check batten tension
and eliminate all vertical wrinkles by
applying proper tension.

5. HARNESS LINES
A. Harness lines should be set so that
the sail is balanced with equal pressure
on both hands.
B. Center of effort can be found while
hooked into the harness and releasing
your hands. With correct harness line
setting, the sail will stay balanced. Once
you have found a good position, it is a
good idea to mark your boom.
C. On larger sails and in overpowered
conditions, move the harness lines back
slightly.
