John gives good advice but in the way of mast rotation the superwing masts behave differently.

As you know.

Don't point the rotator arm at the shrouds on a Taipan that is far to much rotation. Also on the superwing rig , as you know, decreasing mast rotation is a good way to depower the rig. At least I think so. I can often trade-in some downhaul for some rotation and I feel that helps me point higher again. But like I said I suffer from being a pincher myself.

I also reduce the rotation quickly with increasing winds and when singlehanding I often have it pointing at the rearbeam or rudders as soon as I'm getting overpowered.

I'm doing avarage now while singlehanding by placing midfleet in this setup. Considering the amount of work you do on a 1-up F16 and the fact that I far more often race doublehanded, I'd say that those are good results for me. Not to mention I that I race 1-up of a 6 % faster handicap. But I'm very much still working out the optimal trim myself. My comments should be regarded accordingly.
