In light air make sure you are eased for power and twist, but when the boat sails into a puff you can trim the main in to create height without loosing speed. In windier conditions, keep the boat flat by easing. All Kestrel models can be fitted to a portable rotating wind vane mount and tripod, to create a very portable and accurate weather station.
