1.2m carbon is what you need James. The 1m Battlestick just doesn't cut the mustard.

it's got a 1200mm carbon one on the boat I'm sailing, it's very nice in the normal helming position... but I'll be going longer with off the boom sheeting for light winds.

Well I'm sad to say it's 233mtrs now and I've got to stop wasting time on it.

It's quite an easy game because you know exactly when the other boat will tack for most of the beat. When the wind line crosses the mean wind line the boat tacks. Then at the top of the beat it stops following shifts and avoids hitting a layline which means you can get one shift ahead and pinch it at the top.
