💡 Tip

Thoroughly clean the area on the sail with alcohol or acetone before applying the trim lines – this ensures optimal adhesion. After applying the trim lines, press them firmly into place and allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before hoisting the sail. The optimal application temperature is 15-25°C. Position the trim lines at the usual points on the headsail (typically at 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 of the headsail beam, as well as at various heights). The red/green combination is particularly useful for distinguishing different trim zones – for example, red for port, green for starboard, or red for the upper, green for the lower zones. Observe the trim lines while sailing: they should point horizontally aft. If they flutter upwards, the sail is too loose; if they point inwards, it is too tight.

⚠️ Important

The trim lines must be glued onto clean, dry sailcloth . Moisture, dirt, or salt will impair adhesion. The adhesive requires 24-72 hours to reach its full strength – do not hoist the sail during this time. Adhesion may be limited on very old or porous sailcloth. Regularly check the trim lines for a secure hold, especially after intensive sailing trips. Adhesive strength may be reduced at temperatures below 10°C (50°F). The trim lines are designed for headsails; special solutions are available for mainsails. The material is weather-resistant but may fade after years of intense sun exposure – this does not affect its function.
