What do you mean the boat is "always faster to foot"?
I have been a short board windsurfer for 30 years and know what not being able to head into the wind means and this boat definitely tracks similar. If I get the jib traveler set correctly, with the two tell-tales breaking at the same time, and then trim the main to the upper tell-tale, I definitely feel I need to sail to the main tell-tale and not the jib, because I think the jib should be inboard to have the tell-tales flowing correctly. Maybe this would help this situation.
Since I am only a recreational sailer, this all doesn't matter as flying beam reaches are great!
