Hi, Sorry I haven't been checking my messages, but for anyone interested in over 5 knots I generally try to sail with a little roll to windward when I'm beam reaching. In the lightest breezes Id still lean the boat a little to leeward if it helped the sail set correctly. If you roll to windward in 1-2 knots often the boom will not hold itself in the correct position and you will be slow.
thanks a lot for these videos, learned so much from you. Do you know any tips for beam reach you could share?
