Plenty of discussions on optomisation of Projections.
Whereabouts do you have your boat?

	We race a projection 762 in inan irc flrrt which ranges from a dehler 37 to a modified x79. the racing is predominantly around the cans in strong tidal conditions. The problem we encounter is that no matter how well we sail we do noy get close to our handicap and therefore are always the wrong side of the results. I know in tidal conditions that water line length is important however we have many melges 24 in the fleet who manage very well. Has anyone made modifications to the rig/hull/keel to improve the performance of this stiff little yacht? our current irc is .971. Any help/comments will be welcome.
