If DDW is 180 then by extending the pole and moving the clew forward while keeping the leach tight, depending on wind strength, I can sometimes get to 150 apparent. 160 is achievable on my boat in almost any wind strength.

By "fairly deep angles downwind" do you mean more dead downwind or do you mean reaching up and getting away from DDW?

It is sometimes the fastest option in lighter air. Won a 12 miler doing just that last year. Cheers david Wanderer C&C 32 From: Ronald B.

It would seem that would also work for JAM racing.
