requirement as far as I am concerned.


Well, it's a fin keel masthead sloop... it's not an IACC boat, but if
the rig & sails are decent it should get somewhere inside 90...

Through what angle do IACC yachts typically tack through?

I don't really know. What angle *do* they tack through?

From watching them I suspect they go more for footing than pointing,
and they still appear to tack through around 70 to 80 degrees. The 12
Meters were better at pinching than footing and could tack through 60
degrees when conditions warrant.

Which do *you* think points higher, masthead rigs or fractional?
