Does anyone have any ideas for going upwind in about 18-20 knots with a radial for a person who weighs 130-135? I have tried filling the sail, hiking hard, and I still am dragging the leward rail 3-4 inches under, and it feels like I'm not going anywhere because of the extreme angle of heel and pounding through the chop. When I carry a bubble to flatten the boat, once again I feel extremely slow... What angle of heel is the best compromise between filling the sail and flattening the boat, and how much of a bubble should I carry to achieve that?
