Yeah, kudos to Matt, Jake, and the entire staff. This was a very smoothly run event.
I can understand Matt's frustration over the set-up. Even though the rig was in a "powered up" mode, and subsequently benefited the "fat boys", you could still see where even a little more raking of the mast would have a big impact. As it was, the downhaul depowered quite efficiently -- just not as much as you can expect in a more swept back configuration.
So Guys. How about a complete tuning guide from everything that was learned? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
