Thank you all for much information on how to sail the boat, very much info, thank again.

Will_R made a comment on using the boards. Currently I am using simple formulas:

going up: all down, lots of wind 30 cm up.
broad reach: 50 cm up
going downwind: 50 - 70 cm up.

I believed that raising the boards made it easier to allow the boat/beam "slip away" and that by raising the boards going up with lots of wind is a defence against the board creating lift as the other hull lifts (to far) out of the water.

Is making the boat "slip away" the power regulator that Will refers to or am I completely lost here?


Tx again for great info, hope more follows ;-)!
