Default newbie tacking question

You should have looked at the picture on my website
where the gauge shows my yacht close-hauled at 30

experienced sailor at the helm can do as a matter of
routine.

There's something wrong with your boat.

I can tack through only 60 degrees in light winds.


Yeah right,
Do you actually move forward after the tack?
