OK..Hoping for a bit of expert advice.
A few questions:

1. Will you point higher if you move your Jib forward by installing a
bowspirt?

2. Can you point higher if you un-rake your mast a bit?

No, but you would probably point higher if you un-stepped your mast.

On a power boat, such as yours, the sails impede your progress to wind.


Any tuning suggestion to get your boat to point higher?


Get a proper sail boat!!!

Dead right, Joe!!

One of those boats need wind, and one of them doesn't! I know which one
that I would prefer to sail!

Did you do like the other Bent-a-toe sailor and buy a quality Kia too?

You are beginning to sound like Bobsprit! Can't you come up with your own
insults?


Bennie's...the Kia of Sailboats

I can adjust the rake of my mast. Tell us again where your backstays are
attached to your mast!!!

Your boat wasn't designed to sail.
