At Wildcat I was using 7.5 of 10 (relative scale) going to wind and no downhaul to C mark with spi'.
Sunday, practicing with no wind, I was pulled in really tight 8-9 of 10 ... of course, I couldn't test it as we abandoned the races due to light winds.
That makes total sense. I was barely pulling on my downhaul. The speed differences were definatley noticeable. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Good info TBack. I going to need help to mark my mast. I noticed you had marks. Good thing we are having our FREE SAILING clinic for whoever wants to show up at Lake Jackson FL on OCT 7 and 8. (shameless plug!) <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
