Vic,
Here in San Francisco bay, the wind is always funneled in under the Golden Gate Bridge, through a long alleyway we call the slot. In the summer, it starts off lighter in the morning and builds to 20kts at 1pm and often 25kts or so around 4pm, before calming down a bit into the evening. So these deep angles are the ones I will sail if I'm outside the gate and coming in.
On tight reaches I already bury the rail and push hull speed with main and jib, so I'm not really looking to carry more sail area for those.
