6. If the spinnaker gets caught in a wave, quickly hoist it up out of the water before the boat slows down. Once the spinnaker is hoisted, the helm turns the boat higher into the wind (entering the power zone) and exposes the spinnaker (which has until now been blanketed by the mainsail).
7. At the same time, the crew sheets in the spinnaker until it fills, then immediately eases the sail until the luff starts to curl (see Trimming). 7. 与此同时,船员应收紧球帆直到帆⿎满。然后,松帆直到帆前缘开始卷起(参⻅下 ⽂“调帆”)。
As the boat accelerates, the crew and helm either hike or trapeze to balance the forces on the boat. The higher you sail (steering) the more balance is needed to offset the heeling forces. The spinnaker and mainsail must be trimmed correctly, otherwise the boat will not accelerate and the forces on it will quickly build and generate large amounts of heel which will decrease the speed. If the spinnaker has an ‘hourglass’ twist after hoisting, try gybing to free it.
