Hi Rick, we are sailing about 12deg low and fast SOG 9.5. We can't hold AWA 60 with reacher but we are doing fine AWA 70. We will lose at least 2kn of speed if we switch from reacher down to solent jib. Lifts to headers ranging 20 to 40deg with headers lighter TWS by 5kn or so.We miss seeing your estimated SOW, SOG because that gives an easy cross check on how our pace compares to your modeled pace. Let us know if we should be trying to sail higher v. lower.
