I am learning that in windy conditions the blade needs to be kept flat to handle the spin power. This started me thinking that maybe in the upper teens and above is there gonna be that much difference in speed with the spin up vs not up and doing the wild thing? I know this sounds dumb and maybe it is but if the boat is tripping over the bows in the blow is the speed difference worth the higher risk of ending up with the mast facing the wrong way?
Wouter what did it look like at the GC? I think I heard Hans did not launch the chute sometimes, how was his speed compared to the spin boats?

thanks
