That is true, one carries the penalty both upwind and down. If the course is
OM vs. W/L then the penalty is even more severe since upwind is only 40% of the
race.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL

The first time we raced the Gulfport Pensacola race in 2000, we had the 170 and
6 second penalty. We carried the 170 for the first 5-6 miles, changed down to
a 155 for about 10 miles more out to the Gulfport sea buoy. Once we rounded
the sea buoy, we set the chute and carried the chute AND the 6 second penalty
for the next 85 miles.
The next week I pulled the 170 off the boat and re-filed for a max 155% genoa
certificate. Never looked back.
