The pics I owe hugely to Paul, one of our sailors who was on start / safety boat duty, he chased us around and got plenty of pics that day. He should consider a career.

Thanks for suggestions, good to be able to get others points of view.

Will try the outhaul and Darryn's comments as a start.

I guess I am just trying to ensure I am getting best angles I can, understand I may not achieve same angle as others in our fleet but do not have any other mossie to sail against...... anyone want to come up for a visit?

In last races it appeared my upwind was where I lost more ground on the 16sq, downwind I could gain over half a leg. But net result was slipping further behind.

Was aiming for telltales to fly, would have thought indicates good flow, maybe I have wrong concept, using it as a guide to sail setting, trying to balance to maximise speed and angle.

Will do some angles from my GPS, we have quite a tidal current sometimes, will have to look at figures as sometinmes it appears we go backwards on one tack....

Will take a look at setup next racing in 10 days, gives me some places to look at, thanks so much.
