the boats love to go up hill in a breeze typically the blade will out point the 2 and as long as its over 16 true will be just as fast I keep my smallest guy on the main so he can take looks to leeward without messing up boat balance (and check trim) The guys on the rail should all be leaning out which will give you a nice lane to see thru between there backs and the shrouds As stated if you have to duck some one you will need to ease out the main other wise the boat will not turn down This is also true at the windward mark
