Basically the center of effort of the sail needs to be over the board and not over the water


That makes good sense.

I also think I may have been taking too much of a slice out of the wind. I was at the end of a long lake trying to sail upwind, and I was trying to sail at way more than 3 and 9 o clock, I should have tried a much less aggressive direction. Like just barely past 3 and 9.

All this posting is making me itch to go try again, I think I have some new ideas.
