Three races this past Saturday in 15-19 with gusts to 24. Six of eight weather legs were #3. One leg would've been better with the #1, while one of the two legs we did use the #1 was a mistake--way overpowered. Using a tighter rig: 40 uppers/lowers (Using PT-2 and above chart that's 2000 lbs), 15 turns on the headstay, six on each backstay. The 'speed bubble' in the main was gone. We also played the backstay a bit and had it on hard enough to invert the main on the leg where the #1 was a mistake.
Speed and point were good. I'd say we probably had a bit too much tension on the lowers. And, while I'm not going to throw the tuning guide away, I do think I'm going to set the main up to eliminate the bubble.
