8. Under Downhauled Sails<br />
An under downhauled sail will have a very tight<br />
leech in the top section of the sail. While on the<br />
land it will look nice, on the water this will translate<br />
into a sail with a “heavy” feeling, very little range<br />
and very little control, particularly when the wind<br />
increases.<br />
9. Over Downhauled Sails<br />
An over downhauled sail will have a very open<br />
leech that can easily be identified by seeing<br />
wrinkles going towards the mast sleeve. The<br />
bottom of the sail will also be extremely flat. On<br />
the water you will feel little drive from the sail, the<br />
leech will flutter and the sail will feel a little twitchy.<br />
