GO FASTS!! TIPS TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE

[TrippAlyn]

Dear[b] PHRF Fleet Members [/b]& interested parties, Here's a new thread where we can openly discuss tips, tricks & other GO FAST ideas. I'll start the discussion: Avoid arriving on the starting line too early. With Lasers, it's OK to wait on the line and sheet in at 4sec to the start. With displacement keelboats it's another matter and you want to cross the line FAST, and sailing in the right direction. Plan your final approach and take into consideration the overall cost to you of becoming tactically engaged with another boat just at the wrong time....use your Situational Awareness to size it all up as you survey the line and plan your start.
