Hi Ed,
<br>
<br>Nice to hear from you.
<br>
<br>My rig is very tight. I should loosen it because in my case, a very tight rig doesn't give me anything more.
<br>
<br>My weather help is because my mast is raked all the way back. I will rig a way to mesure the angle of attack of my rudders while I am sailing but from the informations in CATAMARAN RACING IN THE '90, I really think that I am already running with a 3-4deg angle
<br>
<br>As far as balancing the CE, with the mast raked all the way back and the sails tuner OK, my CE is behind my CLR and is trying to rotate the boat into the wind. I am simply waiting for another day with normal wind because last time that I was out, we had difficult condition with 3-4feet chop and wind in the 25knot range with gusts.
<br>
<br>On the day of the wild thing attempt, we had the jib was not too tight because we were trying to get the main running very well and I did not want to risk stalling the main. The main was a bit tight and the jib was a bit more open. The slot was looking OK but the problem was really than when balancing the boat on one hull, the boat would sometine hike too much and I then could not get the boat to head down. The boat would head down with less hike but with more hike it simply did not work.
<br>
<br>Anyways, I will try again soon and tell you about it
