 SB20 Helming Steer according to telltales on jib - depending on what mode you want to achieve, telltale positions would be as follows: high and slow mode - windward telltale 30 deg up, leeward telltale streaming straight, middle mode - both telltales streaming straight out, low and fast mode - windward telltale streaming straight out, leeward telltale 30 deg up Also easy mnemonic, when the telltale is pointing up and/or waving around, you can imagine that the telltale is waving frantically at you, warning you that you're turning too close to that particular side

Jib sail: Different trim for high mode and low mode. High mode will have jib in tighter, low mode will have jib looser.  Mainsail: Downhaul tight when sailing upwind for flatter sail shape in higher apparent wind. Downhaul looser (vang tight enough to maintain boom horizontal) when sailing downwind for fuller sail to catch more air.  Outhaul controls depth in lower third of mainsail. Ease to add depth and power. Tension to flatten and depower. Upwind should have outhaul tight and downwind should have outhaul loose. Vang takes over job of pulling down on mainsail clew and controlling twist when boom is eased out for downwind. Use to keep boom horizontal. Vang eased - more twist. Vang tight - less twist. When wind increases, leech will open. Vang on to close leech and reduce "air leak". When going downwind, pull the vang to keep top batten parallel with boom.  When going upwind, vang kept simply snug (not tensioned) in light to moderate conditions because sail twist will be...
