It was really brilliant as it gave us a process for setting up the sails. The camber stripes are very important as are telltales and I would have several more than just on the leech. Keeping the leeward ones streaming is a great way to help you set up the sail.
You enjoyed it

Such interesting add
Thanks Nick. Greetings from
Switzerland.
A couple of other things to keep in mind. The backstay can be used to increase twist as the wind increases and hence exhaust the sail in puffs. This can also induce bend in the mast (tighter luff), and/or a tighter forestay (depending on where your backstay terminates)
Be careful with vang tension as the wind increases when you bear away. If it is too tight, it will pull the boom forward and stress the lower section of the mast.
You should also release the pressure off the luff as you bear away.
Thanks! Looking forward to more shared learnings
