About your recommendation...it's hard to win by following...and about all
those polar numbers; Joel will just have to find out for himself about his
boat and his crew, the numbers are merely targets that might give some
reasonable responses to his questions...

if you are indeed racing Joel, good luck

Joel,

Someone sent you the polars.  For a first race, I'd ignore them.

and instead find another boat that has similar polars and just match
their angles.  
I've found that J-30s seem to have nearly the same wind angle as the
35-3 for each wind speed.  
Just find out who's racing this weekend, and see if there is a published
polar plot for that boat (google my friend....google).
Then, follow their lead if they seem to be a well run boat and
know/follow their angles.

-Keith

Joel,

Ideal angle depends on wind speed.  In light air you have to sail
hotter, in heavy air you can sail more dead downwind.  Key is to
maximize VMG (wind based).  If you don't have instruments that can
calculate VMB (wind based), set a mark in your GPS 20 miles downwind and
sail to maximize WCV (waypoint closure velocity) which most GPS's call
VMG.

I carry my 1/2 (actually a 0.6 ounce) ounce to about 10 knots true.

        2 questions:
        
        What is the maximum wind speed for a 1/2 oz chute?
        What is the ideal apparent wind angle on a downwind leg to get
to the
        leeward mark on a 35/3? 140 degrees 150 degrees 160 degrees?
Assuming
        about a 10 knot wind and calm seas.
