How to win in an Atlantic
At Shore Sails, we know what it takes to win. Our Shore Sails Tuning guide was written to help you get the best performance from your Atlantic. We believe that if you follow this guide, and ask questions, your sailing experience will be more successful, and more fun.
We have found these measurements and settings to be fastest. Since wind and sea conditions vary, and crew weights change, you may find other settings work, too. These measurements provide you with a base adjustment which will give you confidence that you are set-up to win at any level.
