Your track angles look way off, Heading upwing just put each tack on best VMG, and you wont go far wrong, should be around 40 degrees. Compare your track with Dipper's.

I was trying to position myself for better wind later on.

I will be honest I don't understand the VMG.

To me, velocity made good has to take into account the direction you want to go (i.e towards the mark) but this doesn't
