Leseprobe:
Outhaul: has an overall affect on the sail that the depth changes by 3 times i.e. if you let the outhaul 1cm. The draft increases approx. 3cm. Outhaul also changes the top 1/3 of the leach. If you pull outhaul, top part of the leech opens where as if you leave the outhaul it closes the upper leech.
Cunningham: has a direct affect of the draft position. If you pull the Cunningham if also pulls the draft towards the mast and most importantly it opened the middle part of the leech.
Inhaul: affects the bottom part of the sail that pulling it opens the bottom 1/3 of the leech. It also affects the entrance of the sail. If you sail at medium winds and flat water you can leave the outhaul more than normal so that the entrance of the sail becomes flatter and you point higher. This setting is not forgiving which means you have to steer very carefully. It would also work well if you play the inhaul together with the mainsheet. If you pull the mainsheet, then you also pull the inhaul and if you ease the mainsheet then you also ease the inhaul. This way the sails keep a nice shape at all times.
