Now explain to us exactly how increased rake causes a deterioration in
downwind performance and what can be done to offset this, (without

removing
the rake). No google.


I know, I know!! Mount an anchor on the companionway hatch cover!

This has been proven to increase downwind speed every time, regardless

of mast
rake!


Actually, we open our cabintop hatch and our bow hatch straight up, to
grab more wind while going downwind.


Do you make the crew stand up too? We do that in NZ.


And block the sails? That doesn't sound too bright.
