  6. How to Set a Genoa Sail Car

    First, the Genoa is a good-sized sail, and it will propel your boat forward by deflecting or "bending" the wind, from the wind's initial direction to a different direction that is more aft.

Don't make huge adjustments, do it incrementally to see how it affects the overall shape of the sail. Also try it out with a light, medium, and high amount of foresail tension so you can see how it affects the draft. Step 2.
