Hi Harrold,
<br>
<br>Thank you for the suggestion "sheeting in the main/and or jib slightly , while steering down, prevents that squirrly steeringand cavitation "
<br>
<br>I used to do that when I was windsurfing but I have not really used it while riding my cat.
<br>
<br>I am getting a chance to put my boat back in the water next week, If it works, I will try it again.
<br>
<br>My main concern was that my rudders were cavitating and it was really the first time that I experienced that. Now, with all the discussions, I will decrease my mast rake and play with the main a bit more.
<br>
<br>I really like to keep the main sheet tight, I will probably decrease the tension just a bit and play with the traveller. I will ease the mainsheet tension just in order to help the traveler to move more freely.
<br>
<br>The problem is that used to be sailing in the Mississiquoi Bay of Lake Champlain and I will be sailing in the St-Laurence gulf in very cold water. I will still try it but only on fairly warm days (no need to run after trouble)
<br>
<br>Also, I will probably put my chute back on the boat so the wild thing might not be as interesting as before.
<br>
<br>I wanted to learn the wild thing because my previous sailing location has many fast boats like the P19, P18-2, Mystere 6.0 and Hobie20 and I am always looking for new ways to keep up or pass them<br><br>Charles Leblanc [color:blue] Nacra 5.7 #123 </font color=blue>
