How can you make a J24 (sailboat) to go fast? Without her overwhelming
You sail on a broad scope. Although set to be your best point of sail. This means that sailing is about 45 degrees and the wind is almost on the beam (side) or 90 degrees to the bow.
If the bottom of the boat is clean and that you set the sails properly, you can get a good speed upwind or off the wind. shape of the sail is important.
