So if I have an old NACRA, where the boards may have a little slop, do they automatically act like jibing daggerboards, or do you have to manipulate some feature of the trunk in order to have it operate properly? i.e. make tighter at the back, but allow front to still have some slop?
Maybe my sloppy boards are gybing the wrong way which is why I'm so slow?
The gybing part has to be very specific - sloppy boards may not gybe in the proper direction (like you said). However, speaking from experience, there are a lot of things that can make you slow - ASK QUESTIONS of the sailors around you that are beating you. As they get to know you, they'll start to look at you on the water and provide some critique...this will help you more than anything.
