Bow down - my skipper and I are right at minimum, and in light to medium air, we're sheeted right (not just tight) and our weight is forward. Give the leeward bow a good aggresive angle, and like Mike and Jake said, use that big jib to your advantage. When you're in the jib and it's drawing well, the combo of apparent wind and the boards will put you up where you need to be.
Good luck - coming to Nationals?
