1) When you want to point higher, a tighter leech is usually better than an open leech.

True. I instruct that you point off the mainsail leach (the discussion of going through the gears)

To point higher, the leech of the main sail should be tight. That is why we put a lot of tension in the boom vang. The leech of the jib should provide a uniform gap between jib and the main sail. That is why we cross sheet.
