Ever since I purchased my Bravo (used) I've had a tough time getting the sail trimmed properly. When I get both windward telltales flowing correctly, the lower leeward telltale is fluttering. When I get the lower windward and leeward telltales flowing correctly, the Upper windward telltale is fluttering.
The top of the sail seems flat, doesn't have a curve that the lower 2/3's has. I have a Boom and tried all kinds of adjustments with no success.
Today I set the boat up on my lawn so I could take a good look at different angles. What It appears to be is the sail panels are stretched out, relative to the seams, that run vertical. So the panels will form a curve/bellie between the seams, if that makes sense to anyone.
I guess this sail is blown out, and wonder if anyone else had to deal with this and what they did? Yea I could get a new sail but that's at least $700 which is just about what I paid for the boat.
