H16 setup

hi there
i have an '86 h16 i use about 2 months now and i really love it.
now i want to do some reagattas near here.
i need some setup help to make this old beauty fast and furious
please share with me your setup and secrets,there are no other h16 where i live and the fast guys here keep their secrets tight so i need to have some ideas to work on.
for example the position of the shrouds,the jib halyard tension,the mast rake and everything u know.
me and my crew are 140kg and the sailing conditions are 12\18 knots sometimes medium waves.
thanx for all

It is probably best to start with buying a book on catamaran racing, and then ask questions. I don't know of any books written in Italian, but the Hobie USA catalog has some tuing and racing guides for sale.
