[quote=Dogboy]Do not pull the outhaul in "bow string" tight. You want to maintain draft in the bottom of your sail. I would recommend allowing the foot of the sail to blow off the boom about 4-6" at it's deepest point as a good all around upwind setting. Also, do not point the rotator in line with the boom. That is WAY under-rotated. The rotator arm should point somewhere between the outboard corner of the rear crossbar and the shroud.
If you're having trouble pointing and maintaining the same speed as your competitors, my first guess, without seeing you sail, would be that you are under-sheeted. Place a set of telltails on your mainsail in the second and third panel from the top. These telltails will tell you how much twist you have in the top of your main and if you can sheet in more.
