Trimming & Tuning
Rigging advice AC-0 When rigging your AC-0 roll out the sail on a even surface, make sure there are no sharp objects under the sail which could cut the sail.
-Due to the design of the AC-0 series and in order maximise performance in acceleration and speed; the AC-0 has a stronger luff curve in comparison to any other no-cam sail. Therefore when the mast is being moved forward in the mast sleeve it’s extremely important not to use any force as this will damage the sleeve. As the resistance increases, move forward to the boom opening of the sail and pull the upper part of the sail down over the mast and then pull in the sail again from the bottom.
-When the mast is fully inserted in the mast sleeve, set your extension to the specified length and rope the pulley and give the desired downhaul.
-Mount your boom on the mast, with just enough tension for the boom not to slide down when sailing.
-Set your boom to the specified length and rope the sail thru the grommet. When setting the down haul make sure that you don’t use too much out haul; the tension should be from neutral to negative.
