Up wind sailing

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if there were a few tips or tricks to improving our up wind sailing. We race a hobie 18, we are equal in most parts of racing but up wind every one seems to be able to point 10 degrees higher. Any suggestions would be welcomed

I think it depends a lot on the way the boat is rigged, i.e. shape of the main sail, position of jib blocks, etc. And this in turn depends on the windspeed. The one tip I can pass on is that you need to have some boat speed before trying to beat up wind. I suggest you talk to the people that you are racing with and learn from their experience.
