What's your IcQ # anyway private?
Move forward, don't sit so far back, keep the leeward bow averaging half way in the water on moderate wind/wave days, and 2/3 out of the water in high speeds to slightly plane. Fall off the wind when your hull rises, especially if your mark is slightly downwind from your "prefered coarse beam reach", do a little wild thing. "Aparent wind speed baby". Take advantage of the funnel effect of increased wind speed near the coastal high rises, There's a sweet spot in there.
And above all else put more quick set up [censored] on everything and build a bomb shelter/ whine cellar under yer boat, you can have mine after June 1st, $50 installed with lock and cable. That way you can carry more beer in yer left hand.
I'm not that fast, but thanks anyway, Bub.
