I plan on racing in the Staue of Liberty Race (39 mile race)this weekend. Winds are predicted to be 5-10 mph.

Here's my question. I have wings on a Nacra 6.0 w/spin. Do I remove them for the weight savings...or do I keep them on, and tell my 200lb son to trap out on them on the leward side and lift the windward hull for reduced wetted surface?

I'm inclined to keep them on, but given my lack of racing experience, I thought I'd post the question to the experts!!

Thoughts?
