Congrad's on how well you did in your first regatta 9/27 is great first result in a new class. I've only had my mozzie for about a year and have sailed in about 5 regattas and I don't sail club racing. I am probably not the best person to advise you on what is the best down wind angles, however I do know that one of the reason people are fitting spinnakers is to improve the downwind performance of the mozzie. I sailed at Lake Boga (near Swan Hill, Vic) where we had 12 mozzies racing and had a ball with good winds 3 days out of 4. Vic Mozzie Web site has a run down. From your results it appeared you were the only cat racing in a mixed fleet. Hope some of the guru's read your posting and can help you with your enquires.
