I was main sheet trimmer on a Farr 395 a 40' Farr this evening. This boat has end boom sheeting and a continuous main sheet with a main sheet winch both port and starboard.
I thought I was doing pretty good but a new guy was calling for an ease or trim of an inch.
Does that really make a difference. I couldn't see it especially when he called for the opposite a moment later.
We had very light wind maybe 5 knots.
Was he helping or just showing off?
What is the minimum main sheet trim that will affect performance?
