Mugshots....

Hence why I said if it were twin wiring conditions. Saying that, the pic I see above looks like its only a single wire anyway. Looking at the picture it would undoubtley be more effective soaking low (as shown) rather than heating up, mind.

... and check how flat the boat stays. Sometimes you just have accept that you don't look that cool all the time and concentrate on boatspeed.

Well surely then, you wouldn't be sailing the boat flat out and fully powered up all the time then!?!

You say 'you stretch out fully when a gust hits', I take it you mean when sailing downwind? Then surely if twinning conditons, you would want to both be flat out and bearing away in the gusts, not just extending on the wire and sailing the same angle!?!
