Interesting thing with the weight distribution when sailing with one rudder.

After a tack I begin with crew and skipper far back in trapeze but when the sails are sheeted in and the boat has gained speed we move forward to push the bow down. In higher waves we move back a bit to avoid pitch poling, I've done that on the upwind.

If we get into a stall situation we move back fast and release the main a bit, usually the boats bears away and you can sheet in and move forward again but sometimes you get stuck and lose miles!!!!
