LIGHT WIND LASERS HEEL TO WINDWARD

I was trying to put in another picture showing that the more heal the faster the boat is going and that the people in the back are all sailing up straighter.   Wrong format so we have to use this one showing more heal on the faster boat.   Remember rolling the boat over raises the sail higher into more wind.  It puts the sail up over the miiddle of the boat so you don't have to steer toward the sail to balance  the force of just one saqil on one side of the boat.  Actually you should roll the boat over far enough so you will be correcting your course the other direction.  Rolling the boat up reduces the wetter surface when that is the main resistance and wave making is very small.   Suprizingly you should roll that downward curled edge of the boat into the water-- it will go faster then.
