The squall on Sunday at the Nationals was certainly good for finding an weak points in the boat.
Mine was the tiller to extension joint - turns out it was only connected by screws... and that windy and wavy reach from the windward mark to the wing mark established immediately that bolts would be preferable.
Not exactly 'Tuning' I know but it's certainly not quick to reach or beat in a Force 6/7/8 without a tiller extension!
