Dear All,

I got a yamaha 30, and I'm not a good sailor want to know my boat's performance is normal or something need to be improved.

LOA:9.5M
Weight: 4200KG
Head Sail: 150% Genoa

UpWind: Flat water, 12 knots wind I can go 6 knots normally the boat speed is 45%-50% of the windspeed. the boat starts heeling severly if i have less than 6 crews. Should I reef? I've already pulled everything to make the sails as flat as possible, or it's time to have new sails?

Downwind: Normally I can go around 70% to 80% of the wind speed with spinnaker

Please share your experience on a 30 footer.
