I have a little micro tactic on my spi pole. Must admit didn't use it as much as I probably should have done when the wind was up. Gut feeling seemed to play a bigger part of my race management rather than the compass. And in light winds whilst using the compass I would just sit and stare at the numbers in a trance like state missing the shifts completely, I really had my head well and truly stuck IN the box.
I know where I'm going wrong and really should make a conscious effort to use the compass in a more pro-active manner.
Any advise would be welcomed!
