While at the Steve Nicholson memorial event in Northampton the wind had some mental shifts, that I should have been gybing on.
However due to my exhausted body I chose to sit the race out from the comfort of the wings, and found myself slipping into old RS400 style downwind habits of soaking.
THIS DOES NOT WORK!
The D-One does not like to soak, it likes to go high, catch the gust and go with it, gybing if the shift is big enough and to stay with the gust.
You end up sailing quite high, but it is soooooo much faster.
