CONTENDER RIG TUNING - BLACK ART OR SIMPLE SCIENCE?

Many sailors are mystified by the term tuning. Some may imagine that it is a sort of Black Magic performed instantly by experts such as sailmakers and other so called professionals.

SOLO RIG SETUP - A guide to TUNING AND SAILING with your wavelength sail and rig

The Solo is a relatively simple boat to set up as the rules are quite tight, and most boatspeed differences stem from the ability to “change gear” quickly when racing in variable conditions (which is most of the time).
