Ancora Yacht Festival: premieres at Germany's largest in-water trade fair

- Correctly trimmed rigging with sufficient shroud tension is a prerequisite for sailing performance and prevents dangerous load peaks and mast breakage.  
- Before the start of the season, systematically check the mast drop, lateral alignment, mast bend and shroud tension and use a test run upwind for fine adjustment.  
- Adjust the shroud tension using a tension meter or folding rule method, change the trim in pairs and in small steps and check regularly during the season.

- Check the slipway in advance for length, gradient, risk of slipping and end edge and ask the harbour master about its suitability for your boat.
- Carry out preparations on land, set up the mast in advance if possible and leave the trailer coupled up until the slip to prevent tipping.
- Steep, slippery or very shallow ramps require special care; rope extension can protect towing vehicle, exact boat position when slipping out is crucial.
