Spent the better part of an hour tacking up Lake Arthur yesterday - next to an Oday 25. We'd pass him on one leg - then he'd tack before we would - putting him a bit below but ahead of us. This process repeated itself half-a-dozen times or more.

Okay, I admit, we're a tall rig with new sails verses his semi stretched ones . . . but it was kind of neat passing him on each leg with our dinghy in tow!

I don't get it... If this repeated half a dozen times, then it sounds like you weren't outrunning him--it sounds like a stalemated tacking duel.

He was sailing shorter legs . . . and pointing slightly higher.

If you were towing a dink and he wasn't, I'd call that darned good sailing.
