I'm practicing to improve my performance in this year's PHRF races. I'd appreciate some advice on sail trim (or anything else) for improving the windward leg. The best I can manage is a tack through 130 degrees, and that doesn't seem right. I normally use a #2 (150%) headsail (roller furling) sheeted in so that all telltales are flying and the sail is 1" off the spreader, when full. The main is trimmed  slightly off center to the leeward side with the top telltale flying. The draft on both sail is at about 35%. The main halyard, boom vang and outhaul are just snug for moderate conditions. Thanks.
