Last night I raced in 15 knots with the #1 (we race non-spin, so almost always fly the #1)and 4 crew total. Upwind we were all on the rail and I was steering and playing the main to keep the boat flat - so the main at times was flapping. We did well.
At the bar a J/24 sailor said we should have dropped the traveler all the way and sheeted the main flat.
Opinions?
