Can anyone please give me some tips on how to get my sloop to go the minute and a half faster than the cat rigs that I need to do to be able to compete against them?

I have sailed at my club for several seasons both cat and sloop and seem to be in about the same position in the fleet no matter which configuration I use.

Sorry Dazz I've never heard of Club Yardsticks, only club handicap. All clubs I've sailed at use YV Yardsticks.
