Yesterday in similar 0-5 conditions we fared better. We ran minimal mast rake, diamond tension, and rig tension. We still got beat badly, however I felt our boat speed was in the right ball park this time.

We ran into another issue though. We had to put on pretty considerable downhaul in such light conditions to removed the hook from the sail. I found that the mast really didn't want to rotate on starboard tack. Anyone found a way help reduce this? I see how it happens with the AHPC system and feel it might be something we have to live with.
