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
