Tuning guide - The Brasilian Way

Settings for Mainsails CRC series

Below find the tunings given by Alexandre "Careca" Paradeda to set your rig for best performances with our new models CRC1 Main and AR2 series Jibs. The way used by the Brasilians might sound a bit "empirical" ... but THEY'RE FAST!

In the opinion of PARADEDA this Tuning Guide is suitable for All Mast models! The only thing he says referring to SIDEWINDER Standard and Gold models is that the Vang and Back settings are more sensible and need a longer practice to trim correctly. We find it hard to clearly explain the system they use to set up their rig for top performances, but we hope you will understand.
