Anyone have, or know where I can find, a copy of Guy Cribb's Cribb Sheet? I hear of it from time-to-time in various articles. I am curious as to what this sorcery is all about. It's not available on his website anymore. Are there any pdfs or scans floating about? |

From memory the 'Cribb sheet' was a guide to basic setup particularly around harness lines, it was printed on waterproof paper with the idea you could take it with you when you went sailing - the same basic concepts were in a Windsurf magazine article or two.
In a nutshell, it suggests using a piece of elastic to determine a 1/3 of the distance between the mast and the clew - this is your rear harness line position
might be a bit outdated now and at best is a general start point
another (more complete) guide is here - https://boards.co.uk/how-to/windwise-winter-mot-simon-bornhoft.html |

I need to move my lines if the wind changes or I re tune my sail. Maybe I need a Cribb Sheet or a symbol. |

The elastic line, with 1/3 way mark, has never been where I settled on lines.
The both sides of the sheet, have guides and suggestions for Fin placement, mast track etc. useful as a guide ,
Most have probably sorted this out already _________________ K4 fins
