What makes a boat weatherly?

(N1EE) asked:

What is the best keel type, hull form, and rig type?

Dictionary def: Ability to sail close to the wind with little drift to
leeward.

Deep fin. Low wetted surface; low CsubP. Masthead sloop.

I would think a fractional rig would perform better upwind
because of the increased options for sail shaping.

Why did you choose a masthead sloop?
