Pointing
It sounds to me like you''re doing all the right things regarding sail trim. Do you have telltales on the <b>leach</b> of the mainsail, at the end of each batten? I find that these are real helpful in telling you how the leach of the sail is trimmed.
Did you try to determine what your pointing angle was relative to the <b>apparent</b> wind? I''ll bet your apparent angle looks good because of the boat''s tight sheeting angle capabilities, but you are giving up true pointing closeness to leeway from the shallow keel, in which case, you''re bumming.
