Happy Thursday!

Who here races their R22?
How do you handle being overpowered, during a race (aside from reefing/furling the head-sail?
I normally have a crew (2 pp) and we are efficiently finding our rhythm for tacking the 155 head-sail in high wind.

I'm a little embarrassed when we cannot keep the boat flat in comparison to the skipper of a Div II, Rhodes 19 (fixed keel) who effortlessly sails circles around us in 12-15 knots winds (solo).

This list is always super helpful!

Thank you,
Bob Lester
