You make perfect sense explaining the advantage of purchase upwind.

Do you do the Boyer thing and set the traveller and play the sheet downwind to moderate hull flight (in addition to steering)? Or do you play the traveller and steer? Or do you just steer?

I ask because I do the Boyer thing, and 13:1 would make this sheeting much less effective. (And 'cause I want to know what technique you use!) Then again, since you fall back to 10:1 when the wind (and puffs) pick up, I guess it's not all that big of a difference in the rough stuff.

Thanks once again,
