Re: tips on heavy wind sailing & light wind sailing Ok, I will start on what will become a long list: 1)Use less helm for maneuvering and you will maintain speed better. 2)When possible, sail straight lines (watch a GPS track and you will be amazed at the arching that goes on between marks when you think your sailing straight lines) 3)Under-sheeted sails are always quicker than over-sheeted sails.
