At what angle, in most cases, should an in-boom furling mainsail boom be set up relative to the mast?

 

 

Send your answers to george@bwsailing.com. A winner will be drawn from the correct answers and will win a subscription to the digital version of Blue Water Sailing.

 

Thanks to all readers who submitted answers to last week’s question. The winner this week is Rick DeVos, Rockport, ME, who emailed: “You’ll. find a peak in a gaff-headed mainsail. The gaff is hoisted by the peak halyard and the outboard tip of the gaff is also known as the peak.”
