    In the context of advanced sail aerodynamics on modern racing yachts, which of the following best describes the primary aerodynamic function of a 'jib lead' adjustment when optimising the performance of a high-aspect ratio jib in variable wind conditions?

    A. It alters the angle of the forestay to increase the projected area of the jib.
    B. It rotates the mast to change the angle of attack of the jib relative to the wind.
    C. It controls the fore-and-aft position of the jib sheet lead, thereby adjusting the twist and camber of the jib to optimise airflow and drive.
    D. It raises or lowers the jib halyard to change the luff tension and prevent luffing.

    Select your answer above. Good luck!

    I'm not a huge expert on sailboats, especially multi mast ships.
    However A, C, & D were obviously wrong.
    Got it right by process of elimination!

    So far my collection resembles "The Island of Misfit Toys". I've picked up several boats that are old builds and have been neglected. I'm giving them the TLC they need, hoping to bring them back to their former glory. Once I get enough practice/ experience I intend to take on a full build.

    Seems a lot of the old timers are no longer bothering to answer - I wonder if this is because of the repeat questions or are people just getting fed up with the QoD ?
