[quote=MN3]+1 for all Dogboy said
as far as the mast position - i agree with using it to set weather helm but sometimes i will adjust up or down 1 hole in my sidestay chainplate to adjust for crew weight vs wind (i.e i will rake back 1 hole to depower when solo, in med - heavy air) -
other things to consider:
weight placement is critical for all points of sail
old (blowout) sails will have an effect on your ability to point[/quote]
