I agree, EZ. I can get our boat (Leopard 50) pointing upwind at about 45 degrees in those wind conditions. I also try to give the main sail a bit more shape and power by setting the traveller way to windward and letting out the main sheet a bit so the boom can lift freely. Congrats on your new boat!
