heck, we're running 10:1 on the F18s. That thing has considerably more main sail area and is probably a lot more sensitive to high angle apparent winds. I would say 12:1 is probably about right.

12:1 on that main! Yes more please. I too used to think 10:1 was ridiculous for an F18 then I figured out how to trim it properly, 10:1 is delightful.

Not speaking for Dave, but a wise man once told me "half as much, twice as often". More purchase would support that nicely.

Not sheeting nearly hard enough upwind. It's a pretty common fault. My first training session with Red Gear on my A-cat...Robbie is screaming at me with a bullhorn :

"Sheet!"...."Sheet!"....."More!"...."MORE!"....{indiscernible mumbling}..."MOOORRRRE SHEEEEEET!"...."there."

I thought my a-cat was going to split in two but once the echos of the bullhorn subsided in my head I couldn't believe the angle and speed with which I was closing in on A-mark. That price of training had just become an incredible investment.

Spot on Jake and Jeff, and I misspoke earlier, I didn't figure it out on my own I was freaky taught/yelled at.
