Having trouble going down wind. In my last to races it has been in real light breeze, I have been racing against mostly 14's [ mari's , paper tigers and windrushes ]. Been going realy good in the up wind starts then getting swamped down wind big time [ in bigger winds 15kn and up i'am fine]. In the light breaze the 14's just run square down wind, if I try and follow them I just stall or worst gybe unintentionally. If I try and tack down wind I just loose more time. Should a Mozzie be quicker then the 14's down wind in light breeze??? or am i just expecting to much. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
