It’s always cool when a sailboat hardware company can be nimble—recognizing a need, quickly tooling up and starting production, all within a few months. Case in point is Harken’s new 13mm ball-bearing car, which became available this past April.
The goal of this new jib-sheeting system is to simplify trim while achieving consistent jib trimming at tighter sheeting angles. Many holes were drilled along the way.
Pro sailor Steve Hunt explains the nuances of the roller furling jib: when to use it and when to stow it.
When it comes to headsail handling, size plays a big role. David Flynn talks about optimizing your sail plan for the most effective and efficient program.
Whether you’re trimming or steering, your telltales have a lot to say and listening to them can improve your performance dramatically.

Jib trim can make or break sailing performance. Kerry Klingler demystifies the keys of proper trim to help get the ultimate performance from your headsails.
