I retune my rig for every race, from a light air setting of 26 outers 21 inners in 0-4 knots up to 41/41 in 20+. The tune makes an enormous difference in performance. Make sure your mast butt is one inch back from the step in the cabin floor and your headstay is at class max (35'-10 1/2")-although some boats are going with tighter headstay settings these days.
