Tried out a bit of sailing upwind,

I dont normally sail upwind, Tide was in so I gave it a try,
You can see whats left of the flag on the Right top spreader, And the wind direction from that,
It was a constant 10 knots of wind,
I estimate it was about 30 degrees off the wind direction,
I did it in two directions about the same each way,
Then I sailed it down wind heading back to the Marina, 5.3 Knots.
Should I have the clew of the Genoa further back or further forward when Im travelling upwind,
Thanks, ,
