Hi Les,

Thanks for clarifying when you steer "look ma, no hands!".
I've done a lot of tuning on my monohull to be able to do the same thing and I have to admit that it's an awsome feeling when I let go of eveything (albeit briefly in order to attend to something) while the boat remains fully powered up and on it's intended course sailing itself. I guess that is something folks with large keelboats do all the time, but I find the feeling of doing it on a small boat even more fun due to the higher speeds involved.
