This is all great advice and i thank you so much but doesn't this all come down to mast rake. Its just that i see all the other boats in canberra rake their mast heaps and even though they point higher and go faster the slow down the tacks which can stuff your whole race. Last thing is since im the only hobie 16 on the lake doesn't that mean i should try and point like i was on a hobie 18 or 17 and do they point higher because i almost got laped even though i was sailing not as good as i normaly do.
