I have a race on saturday that might have wind in the 5 knot range. I've felt comfortable with my boat speed over 10 knots. In the light air I've felt relatively slow no matter what adjustments I made in sail trim while obviously keeping the weight well forward. I saw the light air post in the general forum but I had a question that I think is more specific for F16 sailors. I've tuned the mast bend according to the Vectorworks manual. Do any of you lighten up on the mast bend when you know the conditions might be lighter than usual? I'm starting to think this is a thoroughbred race horse that wasn't designed to trot. That's ok with me I just want to see if it would help if I loosened up on the diamonds a turn or two. Thanks. Greg
