WarBird posted this inquiry 5 weeks ago and there has been virtually NO response.  Is the fleet secretive or do the majority not look at this sight?  Sideways spinnacker??? Pics or it didn't happen (2 or 3 times!)

Eclipse, surely renamed, has joined that fleet. Best of luck to the new skipper and her crew.

Warbird, I hear setting the kite sideways is always fast....

Did we see in Sailing Anarchy a regatta with 19 Laser 28s in Canada.  Lets hear from the fleet and the leaders a word or two about their set-up, trimming and maybe some tactics.  We in the hinterlands racing PHRF or small fleets have little against which to gauge our performance.  If we have upwind speed against a J80 is that good or just expected.  Are T-10s an even match to us  or should we smoke 'em While we do well against some boats in some conditions, can we do better?  Who has a jib cunningham, do you use it?  Do you use inhaulers or outhauler regularly??  When if ever do you use cabin top tracks??  While we try to get better and better,  some tips from the leaders would help.  Let's hear from Cloud 9, Still Crazy, Rampant and others.
