            The Soling and her rigging is a very solid thing but there is one area what needs to keep your eye on:    The deck area around the mast step is a sandwich plywood with gelcoat covered on top- and under deckside.

            Correcting Deficient Boat Speed or Height 
            
            In several races recently I've suddenly recognized that my speed or height was deficient and been initially unsure what to do and in what sequence to do it. I decided to create a plan of action that would insure a more rapid response in the future and thought my scheme might be of general interest.       I. Basic Concepts -     A. Whene  ...

            Weight effect - 
            
            We had an interesting discussion (led by Hans Fogh) at the 2009 Worlds.  The major consideration was Roman Koch`s speed - in almost all conditions.  And not just to windward (and certainly not on a reach which we never do anymore and where weight has its greatest effect).
