Hey Dave, for the majority of the trip we were traveled about halfway out and I was keeping a good amount of tension on the main, jib was soft set. Once it picked up we traveled all the way down and tried to keep some tension on the main. We found the jib really helping to enough provide lift at the hulls to drive through the gusts without pitching.
The odds are too good.

In those conditions, the 16 happens to be the best tool in the box. Plus, Siau more and more is showing he has the talent and attitude it takes to win. People will remember this year and say "I wish I'd been on a 16."
Mary - thanks so much for the reporting - it was good to know everyone was safe. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
That'd be like shortening the Boston Marathon or running the Daytona 500 in Go-carts.Kinda takes the point from it. Todd

Yeah, sort of like running the Worrell 1000 up the Intracoastal on the inside. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
