Sailed a j133 back from Bermuda recently. Prominently taped to the inside of 
the companionway was a pretty neat diagram / graph. X axis was wind speed y 
axis was wind angle (forget if true or apparent). The rectangle was filled with 
multiple adjoining shapes each representing a particular head sail or 
spinnaker. I guess this made it very easy for the racing crew to determine when 
to change sail
