Gentlemen,
"I have the need, the need for speed" (Top Gun quote).
I have a ODay 28. I suck sailing down wind, and down wind sailing is the ODay 28, 30, 31's weakest point of sail (largest head sail, small main). Has anyone found a set up, or trim combination that works best for this point of sail. I do well up wind, do well on a broad reach, but lose position going down wind. Frustrating. I'll name the set up after you, on my boat you will be immortalized as the "(your name goes here) point of sail". NOTE: mail sail is lose footed.
