- IFS Multi Tradewind is a double furling sail consisting of two superimposed gennakers that form a stable, symmetrical downwind sail.  
- It is very stable thanks to its central fixing and M-shaped profile, requires hardly any trim and is particularly suitable for long downwind passages.  
- Thanks to the IFS without anti-torsion cable, simple recovery and nylon material, it is particularly interesting for cruising, family and short-handed crews.

- In June 2026, shooting will take place at the Putlos and Todendorf training grounds in Hohwachter Bucht, times have been published.
- Shooting times: Mon-Thu 9am-5pm, Fri 9am-12:30pm, additionally Wed and Thu until 00:30am; 20-28 June no shooting plans.
- Shooting area may not be entered during these times; northern danger area with tonnes H1-H3 should be avoided, passage possible by prior arrangement.

Hohwachter Bucht shooting range: Shooting until after midnight - and a week's break

- Correct mainsail trim with sheet, backstay, traveller, cunningham, downhaul and outhaul reduces heeling and rudder pressure.  
- The mainsheet and downhaul control the leech depending on the course and wind, while the backstay, halyard and cunningham shift the belly and change the profile.  
- Traveller and downhaul settings optimise the angle of attack and profile depth; check all trimming devices for function before the start of the season.

Sail trim: Adjusting the mainsail correctly - it's so easy

- Sail and hull tuning (smooth antifouling, folding propeller, keel/rudder profile) significantly reduces drag and increases speed.  
- Weight and trim optimisation (mucking out, re-stowing, correct bunkering, choice of tools) noticeably improves light wind characteristics and sea behaviour.  
- Efficient sailing comfort is achieved through better trimming (membrane sails, halyards, hollow points, wind lines) as well as training, regattas and professional coaching.

Tuning: Sailing faster made easy - 25 tips for more speed, fun and comfort

- Basic work on the rig: straighten the mast, adjust the mast drop (1-3°), tension the shrouds to approx. 12% breaking load and check the trim regularly.  
- Optimise running rigging: taper halyards and sheets, splices to prevent snagging, renew ropes (approx. €300) and clean or maintain winches.  
- Details and weight: tape off split pins, retrofit winches, set halyard and rail markings, stow weight low and in the centre for better handling.

Low-budget regatta: trim the rig, save the budget

- King Christian X. Bridge in Sønderborg will be partially closed in May/June due to steel crack repairs and resurfacing of bascule spans.

- AI image tools quickly visualise new hull colours, stripes and motifs, but are no substitute for a technical construction or foil plan.  
- Good initial photos, precise prompts and variant comparisons help to find suitable designs for hulls, foils and sails.  
- Paintwork is more robust, foil more flexible for complex motifs; design should suit the boat and long-term taste.
