Having said that, this thing REALLY needs a tiller. Like any boat, you want your weight forward when it's light, and especially when going downwind, so a tiller would really help. What's the downside of having a tiller on the Wave?
Downwind...wow, does this thing need a chute! I thought downwind on a H16 was boring in light air, this thing is boring downwind in all conditions!!! Now I know how Opti sailors feel!
Mike, Check out some of my posts on the Wave forum. I agree with most everything you said, and have come up with a few (non-class-legal) cheap and easy solutions, ie: tiller extensions from Lowe's and my "spin-brella". I'm not sure they really enhance performance any, but in the right hands, maybe?
