Considering what you have been doing and the posted reply, I can offer a few other notes. I bet you get a lot of info on this subject.
<br>When I moved up from my H14 to the H16 I felt the H16 turned considerably slower. It does, and my H14 is slow to tack compared to monohulls. The H16 is tough to tack, so you need every skill.
<br>1. Make sure your rudders are alligned.
<br>2. Turn gently. (turning too hard brakes the boat)
<br>3. Keep the crew weight to the inside of the turn even after the main has switched sides until you are underway. I realize that you will have to adjust your crew weight for the different heading, but wait till the last second.
<br> These are few things I know from experience.
<br>I will be anxious to read other replies to this.
