Erice:

The minute the hull starts looking scary, just head up and the hull will come down UNLESS a real BIG puff hits you fast. You will get the hang of it fast and heading up is better and sheeting out,unless you are flying it a lot, then you need to sheet out to control the boat.

You will love the book. Get the DVD's also when you can. Pic is worth 1000 words. When you can see it you learn it faster. They will cut 3 years of learning curve.

Good luck,

Doug
