After 5 years away from the boat I had my first regatta back this weekend. I was the only guy w/the "classic" rigging on vang, cunningham, outhaul. In light air, less than 6, I saw no difference. However, when the breeze got up in the 9+ range I felt that my vang and cunningham controls were not up to snuff. Especially cunningham. Looks like folks are really honking that on as the breeze builds. Also noticed people play the outhaul now a days, ease downhill and adjust upwind. Am I correct in thinking I've got to upgrade to get more competitive?
