Hi Pete,
Two rules for sailing upwind
*If oscillating wind, tack on the headers and hold the lifts
*If persistent, go the direction the shifts are going.

Almost every day saw persistent shifts going right, and almost entirely the right side was favored.
On the Orange course it was even more so, as we were closer to land.

So, another little big of lore: If land on the right and water to the left(as it was), go to the right.
When you were at my seminar I think you quit midweek before we got to the tactics and windshifts, as I recall.
However, in the magazine I do a tactics column and much of it is about this sort of thing
