I also sail on a big lake (lake Champlain in NY) and have experienced the problem of the leeward hull imitating a submarine! I have my Wave on the broadest point on the lake and with a strong south wind often get large 3’ – 4’ waves. I have had many occasions where both hulls have buried up to the mast, often with the result of having the boat pitch over bow first. I am not a small person at 6-2 and 230 lbs. and I push my self back to where I am sitting with the tiller arm over my thighs and I sit on the hull ports of my Wave (Club Version). This helps some but you will still have the problem. The one thing that is great about sailing in those conditions is that boat pops up like a cork! And just takes off again. If it does go over it is so easy to right and keep on sailing. One thing that I did notice was that if you have not raked your mast the problem is much more pronounced.
