I'm open for suggestions. What are your recommendations?
I know you can't put all the subtilis in a spreadsheet. It was developed as a Quick Reference Guide for a new laser sailor (me).

Given that you want to be 'hyper' vanging upwind in that much breeze if you left it on as you rounded the mark bearing away is gonna be very dodgy and you'll probably bend the boom. It needs to be eased, but maybe not as much as you would in light winds.
Took my newly refurbished boat out for its 1st sail yesterday. Wind was gusty from 5 to 25, coming from all directions. Didn't know what to set so just pulled everything on
Feeling sore and sorry today.

I know you must have been excited to get out there after working on your boat. You've learned your first lesson the hard way. The best conditions for newbies are 5 to 10 and fairly steady. Give yourself a good stretch and rest. You've many great sailing days ahead of you!
