The lead boat that is reefed above is Kansas Twister, so on the reefed day it was blowing even harder but if I recall the full main sailed higher and faster and won that race.

<br />...I for some reason thought that sailing with jib alone was kind of a lazy man's tactic... and wouldn't you lose your ability to point a little higher?... or lose balance?... I just kinda do what makes the boat go faster...<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">Yup--we did it because we were lazy, but we we've nearly planed on a broad reach under the 130 alone. You can't point quite as high, and the helm on ours went from light weather under full sail, to neutral under genny alone--it felt sorta squirrelly to me.

I mentioned genny alone before just to illustrate that the genny contributes more drive an less heel--by a wide margin--than the main. So if your problem is being overpowered and you've done all you can to flatten things, the next step is reducing the main, not the genny.
