I race one up against Mozzies sailed with crew in chop which is often riding on a 2 metre ocean swell. While footing works if it isn't too windy, 15knots, once the wind increases their greater righting moment helps them to punch through. I then point higher, sail each wave using the standard method but look 3 waves ahead and plan a path through to flatter sections which I foot across. Using this technique I can get to the A mark as quick as the Mk2s up to 25knots when racing is cancelled.
