We have std and radials in our club and welcomed the first 4.7 this weekend. Yesterday was 3-8kts - perfect for the 45kg skipper to get a feel for the boat. What I'd like is some guidence I can pass on for sailing the 4.7 in a range of different windspeeds. Can anyone help.

(Today winds at Bluff (NZ) peaked at 31.6kts - the 4.7 didn't venture out - but what a blast - eventually racing was abandonned as the velocity increased and the tide turned, but I'm still on a high from the reaches to and from the wing mark, and I nailed the gybe! - just thought I'd let you know!):D
