[6string]

All good suggestions here. Interesting problem. The boat that I am currently sailing is a 20' C Scow. It is all main sail. I race it. Something I have found on a few legs that started out as a run and ended up at nearly a broad reach, is that the leach cord needed to be release completely. It seems that the sail needed to breath more. The sail needed to have a clean exit. I also let out my rear traveler as far as it will go. Great Speed and balance on the helm resulted.


You might want to try flattening your main when on a reach and see if that helps. I would put on some vang and cunningham, make sure you have the out haul tight. Watch the trailing edge and see to it that it has a clean exit. something to try anyway.
