[quote=US73]I have also found on a heavy air, huge wave day that outhaul & downhaul are very important. Due to the waves and poor layout, I couldn't get enough tension on either. I had a tough day on the water with slow tacks, and at one point being unable to tack. I went into the beach to fix a breakage, and tightened the main. It was like I was sailing a completely different boat. No problems at all tacking, and faster gybing. In lighter air, the more I can get the bow out of the water, the better.[/quote]
