Well guys, he didn't say anything about his tacks in a race. I was givng him a surefire way to get thru the tack, even in heavy seas. He also mentioned somebody's book he'd read.

Just trying to answer his orig. question. We should now talk about the fairing on his rudders, mast rake, bottom condition, tramp tension, jig lead adjustment, the list goes on. Most likely, he's not racing if he's soloing, hope not anyway. I think he said he had it down with two people on the boat. ;-)
