Wednesday Sail
A good time to talk about "Pointing" The wing will point high but will
make Leeway. Keep a good flow over that Wing, even if you give up some
pointing your up wind made good will be better. Again, find that
groove. Your compass and Speed-0-meter will tell you.
Thom, according to polars I've seen for the deep fin version of the
35s5, my boat is just 3 degrees off via the wing. Owners I spoke to
often prefered the wing, saying it was even faster than the fin footed
off.
You're right...so far I am impressed. I was really flying yesterday and
she sat in the groove and seemed to hang there better than the C&C did,
even if I clipped some chop or a wake.
