HELP we sailed a light air race lastweekend 5k to6k smooth water.800 pounds of weight. 2 times around windward leward 1.5 mile legs. Sat on by olson 40 at start, tacked away ran down a pearson flier and J29 mast head. sail past to leaward tacked and crossed. Went to far left but still rounded close behind. Could not keep time down wind even passed by olson (2) 25s mast heads. This is PHRF but is still fun. How hot should we sail off the wind and would a mast head spin pay in these cond. thanks for any help.
