G,day all
In my last few races a have gotten real comfortable getting out on the trap.
But have found the more I use the trap the worse my race results are.
The problem is I have to steer down to keep enough speed up to stay out on trap.
My question is in a race should you try and point as high as you can to the windward buoy and not worry about trapping or get out on the wire and go for speed.
Should you use the trap more for reaching [i.e. to the wing mark] and not worry about it on works.
