Timbo,
Since you do or have done better in higher winds against sloops, what is your weight then? I have met you before and I have an idea how much you weigh, but I'm not going to guess.



I'm trying to dispel the notion that lighter is always better.

I weigh 175 and Chris Amador weighs about 15lbs less. We both have problems keeping up with Sloops after the wind starts blowing over 15kts. We'll depower as much as possible and we are still overpowered, so we end up pointing too high and loose ground over the Sloops.
