Hi All! I need some help. Hi have a H-16 and I weight 200 lbs, when sailing in harder winds I´m noticing that the boat wants to go under... Is there anything I can do? Any tune-up on the boat? What can I do? Please help... Later
Rake the mast farther back; it moves the center of effort of the sails more aft on the boat. When you hike/trap out, get way back on the windward aft corner.
remember if you rake the mast further back you also will have to tune the rudders. Raking the mast aft, changes the caracteristics of the boat, hence the rudders will have to be tuned.
