Now we only have to carry about 2 lbs if we have a light week. Upwind: The thing to do is max the downhaul. When you are done there let the jib out a bit. Then rotate the mast forward (more rotation). Travel the main out a bit. Remember to foot like a banshee. Downwind: The faster the gybe the better. You want to make sure you keep boatspeed up so apparent wind does not go too far behind you. Good Luck and tell Sweetcheeks hi, Dan Jake: Eileen and I used to sail that light.
