The photo on the homepage of the Mirror blasting downwind looks like High Performance to me.

Some time in the front of whatever you're racing will CERTAINLY help. It means that you can focus on what is actually happening around you a bit more rather than keeping the mast in the sky... Get your bearings a bit first (upwind and downwind angles etc), then go for it! |

To answer this question perhaps one should read and reference High Performance Sailing by Frank Bethwaite. It makes my brain ache everytime I try to go through it but I'm convinced one of these days I'll get it!

Somehow i don't think a cherub can give a 14 a kicking in the light stuff. 14 have the extra waterline length plus much bigger sails |

A well sailed 4k can beat a 49er in a drifter! Whereas a well sailed 5k will beat almost everything in a drifter!! |
