Default Rounding up

Frank,

Maybe when Nutsy gets sailing his we can get some knowledge (?)

When I was still racing and they were a rather new bred but they
definitely did show that tendency to be squirrelly. It took a lot of
crew work to get them upwind at full speed. My friend did work his
backstay adjuster and kept the head of his main almost in a constant
state of loft. I'm not sure about the helm but I'm sure if you want Max
speed you don't want to be a "Tail Wagger" They are fast, when sailed
properly but Dogs when they're not.

It seemed everybody had a suggestion but it seemed that the Main trimmer
and Helmsman had work together pretty much. That's my observation, for
what its worth and it isn't much.
