How much higher up the forestay are we talking?

When you made the change, did you find that you were getting more tension in your luff? If you have changed the entry, you have changed the flow across the sail - more luff tension in the right condtions means more efficiency which will pull your apparent around, letting you sail a bit higher. An easily-adjustable jib luff-tensioner is important, in my opinion.

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
