Tuning Tips This page contains the official tuning guides from North Sails and McNamara Sails. In addition there are several racing guides written by very experienced Albacore sailors. Next we have some technical articles and illustrations about rigging and foil shapes. We think beginners as well as advanced sailors will find this information of great use. For example, the tech tips can really help you out when rigging an older boat or overhauling that worn out centerboard.
