Any tips on the correct trimming of a asymmetric spinnaker.
I don't use it offen and not sure of the best method to check if the trim Is correct.
I've done some research and the best tip I've seen is to ease the sheet until the middle section of the luff curls. It the upper section of the luff curls tighten the tack. If the lower section curls ease the tack.
I have an adjustable tack line.
I have a race next weekend and it's looking like the wind will at 90-120 degrees up to the first mark, about 5nm.
So the Asymmetric should be perfect for that leg.

If you ease the tack line and it goes leeward, that's bad, bring it back on. If it goes vertical or windward, that's good, until it becomes too unstable.
90-120 degrees, you'd want the tack in and ease trim until it cups. 120-150, ease the tack according to the way it goes.
