Well, it would be a little slower and a little lower .........
It kinda all comes back to the same thing. Balancing it out. Long downwind leg with few jibes, go for it. Shorter course, I'm thinking stay on board. And like the guy said earlier, depends on the conditions. I don't think Midwinters woulda been a good place to try trapping out downwind singlehanded. Actually, that is what I have been basing my whole argument on. You shoulda seen how many times the spinnakers were collapsing on the singlehanded boats.
