Recommend not to pinch, the boat seems to want to be free. Also, you should have inboard genoa tracks to help pointing, but need to sheet the genoa outboard for reaching. My tracks are about four feet aft of the shrouds, in line with them and are six feet long– I have adjustable cars (Garhauer) but use a snatch block on the rail when reaching. I set the rig tension on the medium to loose side, but race in mostly light air. Selection is a 155, 140, 110 – all Dacron (had high tech but when they fail…they fail big and my budget didn’t fit getting new ones every four years).

I have been sailing for a couple decades so not looking for general sailing tips. I want to know what is best for the 30MK1 or hear from your experience what work best. I am pointing well, though wounder if I should pinch more or be more off the wind for speed? I seemed to be passed on reaching and running. FYI - we have about half a dozen 30 MK1 racing a couple redwings, a 32 and 35 MK1 racing. All C&C. Stevetensions on
