<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I recently bought a Capri 25 that has the mast
swept back about 7 degrees (15" head stay extention). I was told by the
previous owner that this is faster upwind and a little slower downwind. I live
and race in Connecticut, but I need your advice. Is this really better or
should I move the mast back to vertical? I think maybe it creates too much
weather helm.</FONT></DIV>
