Elle,
What is the translation (Dictionary type) for "littlier feet"?

Thought this was a good tip regarding close-hauled  sailing in light wind:

"On the loose-footed mainsails (in-mast furling)  a good rule of thumb is to
ease the outhaul to have a gap between the foot  of the main and the boom of
about 18-24 inches at the widest point. This  “camber” adjustment of the
“wing” allows more lift to be generated for a  given wind  speed."

This came from a yacht salesman so the gap might be slightly less on  our
boats because we have littlier feet.
