If that were true, since both Infusions and Capricorns have their forestay bridles attached midway down the inside of the hull (instead of on the corner like older Nacra F18s and Tigers), they should be shooting us so high up the course that we can't compete since their jibs are so much lower. Could lowering the jib 1.5" inches really make that much difference in pointing ability?
I'm reporting what I experienced side by side with another boat who we are normally very similar. Maybe my technique was better in those conditions - who knows but the boat was pointing very high with excellent speed when normally I struggle for height. That was the only thing I changed.
