abenn said:Thats good to hear Rob. In some of our big wind races, just staying up can be a winning strategy but how did you go speed-wise ? Was anyone else being more adventurous/risky and going significantly faster than you ? Have you tried the "By the Lee" strategy for avoiding and re-covering from a death roll ?
abenn said:I guess if you're sailing straight downwind with the main sheeted in quite a bit, your'e probably sailing by the Lee anyway ? Although with a loose outhaul it might be hard for the wind to stick to the lee side of the sail.
