As was mentioned earlier the boards are no problem for us H17 sailors. If you have to dump the main to unload the rudders, go to the back, raise and lower a rudder, you can loose a lot of ground. I do the following: First keep a sharp eye on the water ahead and try to dodge the clumps. If I do pick up a clump and I'm considering a tack anyway, I tack and hope it will come off. If its on the weather rudder I try to fly the hull to get it to drop off. Downwind I use only one rudder. Otherwise I just take the hit and go back and clear it...Dan
