Not real big waves on the inland lakes I am sailing on, but I will check it out. This happened at two different regattas on different lakes at different wind speeds so I am thinking its not a wave pattern.

At my weight, I have found that going to stern in lighter winds slams on the brakes and now I've discovered this hook thing is really slowing me down. So smooth tiller work and timing my visits to the stern are what I'll work on for now.
