I wouldn't venture a guess as to the comparison of the two tracks on two different days under different conditions.
Thanks Roadrunner,
You're right of course. I guess I was wondering if the angle at the tack would reveal more of the pointing ability?
Would a boat be expected to point better or worse or the same if the headwinds were much stronger? I know very little about this.

Stringy, if the wind was coming from exactly the same direction on both days, you'd have to say the new DB made no difference, as far as pointing is concerned. The two tracks look almost exactly parallel on every tack.
Chris,
I agree, the tracks look very close. When I downloaded the tracks I was surprised as it did feel that the black DB, in Matt's words, "did bite more".
Wishful thinking on my part perhaps?
Oh well, I'll just have to get out there and do more testing!
Only problem is I have a couple of project deadlines to meet in the next few weeks and my time on the water is limited.
Maybe next time we meet up we could try a sailing only test with the different DB's in each boat?
