upwind Genoa trimming - lighter airs
No one has mentioned the key control for pointing in lighter airs. Headstay sag, all other factors considered, is paramount to pointing. Another possibility (in flat water) would be inboard Genoa tracks. Try softening the headstay considerably. Remember you need power to point, press the boat down until she''s up to speed, let the keel go to work and only then start letting the weather tickler lift-and only rarely in light air. good luck
