Enjoying racing my '82 H30 (5'3" draft with 135 RF genoa, no genoa tracks just blocks snap shackled to the toe rail - but adjustable) and was wondering...
what's the fastest way to sail her to the windward mark?
Do I sheet it all in as tight and close as possible - or - ease her off a few degrees to a close close reach to keep the boat speed up?
I don't have the electronics or a slide rule to do any precise measurements or calculations - just curious if there's some fact based gouge from those sailing this same boat...
Close hauled and in the groove or eased off a few degrees, what's best for a 28 year old H30?
Thanks
