I was out sailing yesterday in 5-8 mph, fairly steady wind. I was also trying to figure out how the tacking angle of my Sunfish compares to the pre-set tacking angle on my Ritchie compass. Then I remembered I had heard that the gooseneck position affects pointing ability.
Does anyone here know how this works? Can you actually sail closer to the wind by adjusting the gooseneck?
