Well, that is good to know. I got to test the boat some today with two people on it and sure enough I had to start watching the lee bow but the hull stayed down alot longer. So I guess in the solo configuration I just don't weigh enough to drive the bow under.
That is part of it, but it is not as much because you have MORE weight with two people on the boat, as it is because the crew is usually standing forward of the skipper, and that is the main factor in driving the bow down more. When Rick I are on a windy reach, he(as skipper)sits on the hull so I can trapeze directly behind his back, with one foot on each side of him. That consolidates the weight aft, where you need it to keep the bow from diving.
On a reach in those conditions, weight aft is usually more important than weight out.
