The answer is simpler than that. Read the hint I posted.

You can point higher when motor sailing. The main can easily be

aren't as efficient. Also, the ride will be easier than powering straight
into
a chop.

Another question inspired by a Dutch sailor. I caught on
to what he was doing, because I was not occupied with
anything else at the time. No one else on board did.

While motor sailing, close hauled, you trim your jib so that it is
slightly luffing?
Why would you do this?
