After racing on an active team for all of last year, i have run into a couple of questions that my teammates were also puzzling over. First, during CORK series one last august, the windspeed increased to over 30 knots during one of the races. At this point, it became nearly impossible to gybe the boat while on a downwind run. I was wondering if anyone else has encountered these problems and how they dealt with them. Also, a number of people reccommended the use of a teflon marine polish. When one member of our team used this polish on his boat, the water that he washed the hull with beaded on the hull. How can this increase the efficiency of the hull? Would it not be more beneficial if the water sheeted off the hull?
Thanks,
JB.
