Rigging is another issue. I always rake my mast as far aft as possible. It comes with a 7-hold forestay adjuster, but I use a 10-hole to get farther aft. Then I remove the sidestay adjusters and just use shackles.
This loads up the rudders and makes them the daggerboards as well as steering devices. And downwind you will have less tendency to pitchpole.
Good luck,
Rick
Thanks Rick (and others) for the advice. I will take it to heart. I will also check the rake on the mast as it is set as the person from the dealership set it up originally.
