Possible Hints from m244 Predecessor

 Here's a link to a Martin 242 Tuning guide by Ullman Sails. Although the mainsail is different I think that the comments on both Mainsail trim and Jib trim are relevant to the Martin m244's. Have a look and perhaps experiment with the suggested settings.

Oh and don't worry about the fact that the 242 has an adjustable back stay which the m244 lacks. Colin Jackson from Cooper said that the designer - Don Martin's advice is to not bother with it. The Ullman sails guide seems to support that view. 

Hey - maybe we need to develop one of these guides of our own for the Humber Sailing Club m244's.

Yee hah!
