Notes

• Boats turn easier
• Much more responsive
• sheeting angles different
• get used to the headboard problem/inverted batten
• sail downwind with less heel, and maybe less board in water than normal if you’re going DW in flat water
• ease vang in light air, but not too much upwind. Sail has a narrow groove; fast is attainable but takes some tweaking
• be patient sailing upwind here. Never corner early (at least today)
• less powerful mainsails mean you have to be very careful trimming them
• work on point mode; there is one, and also don’t stay in it too long
• crew weight in and low (and sometimes forward) is critical
• sail the boat very quietly upwind for maximum speed. the boat stalls out quicker since its lighter
• make gains winging on and off
