Performance Tuning
Whether you are racing at the highest level, with your local club or simply sailing for pleasure, boat speed is important. Setting up your mast to optimise performance is one of the key areas that requires regular attention.
Dock Tune
It is very common to see masts that are leaning over to one side, bowing forward in the middle or snaking from one side to the other. Our dock tune service will make sure that the fundamentals are correct, ensuring that your mast is set not only safely, but properly tuned to give you the best performance in a range of conditions.
Sail Tune
Once dock tuning is complete, tuning your mast to the next level requires us to get on the water. This is the only way we can assess exactly how your yacht performs. Achieving the best sail shape is essential for optomising boat speed, and only by looking at the mast and sails together can you truly expect to get the best performance.
Once the basics are set correctly there are certain adjustments which vary depending on wind conditions and sail plan. As part of the service we will guide you through some of the adjustments you can make yourself whilst on the water.
Winning is often down to the smallest thing, whether this is extracting that extra fraction of a knot, having the ability to point a little higher or simply knowing what adjustments you can make when conditions change. It will all make a difference, and if nothing else, leave you with one less excuse if you don't win!
