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. http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ThomPage |
