I pretty much agree. Ease the genny a bit and flatten the main -- lots
of vang, main halyard and/or cunningham, outhaul, backstay if your mast
bends, babystay if you have one, running backs (if any) just enough to
prevent mast pumping, and traveler relativly high.

Don't worry about "speed bubbles" as long as the leech of the main is
working. You don't want the whole sail to flog, though.

You can also de-power the genny. If you have moveable jib cars (can you
tell I race?) move them back. The top of the jib will twist off and
make things more comfortable.

North Sails has North U. which has classes on sail trim, racing tactics,
etc. They also sell their books. You may want to look at Performance
Racing Trim at

If you have purchased a sail for your boat, badger the sailmaker for
tuning guides.

Good Luck!
