You are 99.9 % correct with your post ( as usual I might add )
In stiff winds I dont have a chance same if it is like 2 and below ... In the "middle" I think I am doing fine.
I need a 4.59 hour long race with all boats just sitting there and than the last 30 minutes ( after everybody just barely made it over the finish line ) a nice 5-7 knots of wind...lol Than I will kick their butts.

Seems that most of our races on Carlile Lake ( Illinois ) are in the low wind range. Therefor I bought me a big fat assymetrical spinnaker. Seems that the perf gets down only 8 points with an assymetrical ( 15 with a real one ) and I hope this thing makes the boat move a little faster in light winds, so the other guys with their huge kevlar headsails are not sneaking away anymore...

cant wait to race the old boat again
wish me luck ( I desperately need it )

Thanks for all the comments ...
