I have cracked it.
Today the wind was a Force 2 sometimes a bit more (just)
I had her planing upwind, unbelievable.
Very happy.
So the key is loads of mainsheet tension and then as the wind gets up release the traveller, and if you run out of traveller then start pulliing on the downhaul to keep the boat flat.
The downhaul is incredibly effective. It flattens the square top main, in fact it blades off backward a bit, so it depowers really efficiently.
