Ok Surfesq, a sailing question for ya. The last two times out I've caught hard gusts going to windward while already heeled over 15* or so. When she rolled harder over to the "I'm getting nervous" point, I rounded up a bit to spill wind and settled back on tack as she came to a more agreeable angle. The last couple of times I thought about falling off a bit to maintain my speed.
