What, if anything would you do to optimize trim?
Figure out what point of sail I'm on.

Well, there's a novel idea. Let's pretend that we're close hauled. The
sail is sheeted in to about 2" off the end of the spreader, as usual for
this close hauled course.

If you're moving in the direction you want to go, and nothing's flapping, tearing, or chafing, relax and open a cold beer.
Perfectionism in sail trim is the mark of an idiot.

There is a time for relaxing, and there is a time for perfection.

I like that .... I like that a lot! Of course, only fin-keeler's will
understand the sentiment.

I would also like to point out that the search for perfection can be very
relaxing! While you are trying to trim your boat to perfection, all other
problems are temporarily forgotten.
