If the others passed you, maybe by rolling over the top to weather then maybe you spent some time sailing in their dirty air.you won't point as well in that stuff so you have to tack away or suffer.sounds like you and your crew have a good bit of experience, at least enough to figure out why the boat didn't point as well as you thought it should and maybe next time you will have a different race.how did you tune the rig and were you sailing the genoa to the leeward ticklers which should be all streaming straight back hard in that wind.the windward ticklers can luff up a bit on my boat and that is fast 15-18 degrees of heel should work good and if you don't already do it try feathering up on the puffs.that can make a huge difference in average pointing angle over a windward leg.but try to sail in clean air, even if you have to tack away to do it

I had just had the bottom cleaned, had plenty of boat speed but I just couldn't point as high as the others. Any suggestions on where I should start to look for an answer?
