"Vince, we just raced for the first time since you came out with us and we found ourselves much more successful than before. We practiced two days before the SDYC OD races and it resulted in much improved performance on the course. The fleet of nine boats wasn’t the routine 30 boat tough fleet, but we scored a first and second place, due to much improvement in upwind speed (and better tacks and gybes). The key improvement was carrying about six turns more upper tension that in past races. The uppers setting that you tuned for us gave us the ability to point, and with changing the blocks behind the mast we could upshift when the wind increased and downshift when the wind died. In the past, we were always low, and downshifting didn’t improve anything, and nothing could get us to point well. Thanks again for coming out with us and providing the impetus for our improvement".
