Congratulations to Sue Van Horne, Bellingham, WA, who correctly answered last week’s question. “You use the main traveler to de-power the sail as a puff hits by easing it to leeward. This helps to keep the boat from heeling too much, helps keep the rudder balanced and prevents the possibility of rounding up into the puff. “
