Are you the only masthead in the fleet? It looked it. You need a better backstay system and need to wail on it upwind! You shouldn't be getting out pointed by fracs. Also, you can carry your H1 to a much higher windspeed, about 16 true. Sail the boat thin, feathering in the puffs. Much faster than the #3 in those conditions.
There’s a few mastheads floating around in this area, we race against another on Wednesday nights but no other masthead travels to any race weeks. I’ll have to get in touch about the back stay setup, we usually try and run the H1 to 15kn. The last day of Chester was blowing 22kn and gusting higher so had to drop down to the #3. Still trying to learn how to sail her
“How do you drive that boat with those big balls?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
