Can someone please define TWIST OFF....



Are you speaking of traveller out and mainsheet off to open the leech? I am still trying to figure out the whole down wind equation and the last time I went to play with my boat on the water it was blowing 25. There was no time for expirimentation, just big fun.



No waves on an inland lake and that kind of breeze makes for unholy speed and devilish grins. I didnt bother to rotate anything. All I could think of was FLATTEN FLATTEN FLATTEN. My main looked like a board. Amazing how deep a cat can sail in a toot.



My point?.... It was imperative to [color:red] drive down in the puffs. While this did not burn much speed, it did allow the leward bow to come up to periscope depth at least. Honestly, I think the 6.0 likes to sail half under water.
