[quote=coastrat]sounds like your getting it! when your flying hulls in heavy winds point the boat upwind, not a beam reach, and you have the ability to control heal with the rudders alone by heading up. you can cleat the main but always keep the line clear and in your hand with no slack to the block. when a puff comes along just ease into the wind a touch, if its a big gust then you can pop the sheet a touch. you will get the hang of it quick and gain contol with the rudders and save strength for hoisting 12 ouncers![/quote]
