My first experience racing in the ocean (Pacific) last weekend was very humiliating. To say I was uncompetitive upwind is a large understatement. I may have a (mental) handle on some of my problems, but I had no idea how to interpret changes in the apparent wind going up and down 4-6' swells. Anyone have any pointers or suggest books, etc. that address this? I really was clueless upwind! Thanks!! BTW, wind was 12-14 Sat, 10-13 Sun. Swells pretty much from the WNW, chop from the SW.
