Apparent Wind & Max Speed

I'm interested in the limitations to do with travelling so fast and the narrowing angle of attack from the apparent wind. What angle of attacks do you guys experience? What is limiting the speed at the top end? Can you use a full sail with a small angle of attack...that is does a fuller sail bend the wind, create more upwash(?) and still remain functional?
