Hi,
I’m new to a Dart 15 (or indeed any cat). I find that I’m unable to set the main so that both windward and leeward telltales fly properly at the same time. I’ve tried various combinations of main sheet and traveller, but nothing seems to induce the windward telltales to fly properly. My most recent attempt was in pretty light winds, with virtually no batten tension. I have noticed that the mast always seems to twist such that it may be causing turbulence across the face of the sail.
I suspect that either the shrouds are too loose or the sail may simply be old - it looks to be in good condition, but the previous owner said he’d not replaced it and thought it might be original.
Any thoughts gratefully received.
Peter (sail number: 1344)
