Draft too far forward (unless you're just coming out of some
chop, which doesn't look to be the case)

Not enough draft in upper sections

Why do you have a backstay antennae and no wire to it? Is the
wire lead up the mast and to the antennae at the top?

Not sure what you mean. The wires are inside the radar support tube.

Correct. Traveller is wrong for current course.

I don't have a backstay antenna. What makes you think I do?

You've got the crap dragged out of it!

Well I'm at a loss as to what that means.

Gee it looks like 45% aft of the stick to me.

It's a brand new main. They cut them much flatter nowadays.

Kinda hard to tell that from where your sitting. I was trimming the main
and the top batten was parallel to the boom. It was really light air.
