Doug: Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a try. Best guess, I'm @ 400 miles from Ft. Walton.

Rolf: I'm not certain of any thing at this point. There was no problem with lee helm, rather a lot of tiller pressure on starboard tack when goind to weather. I'm sure some of that was mast rotation.

I tried shifting my weight and a position slightly forward seemed best.

The next time out, I think I'll start with the same rake and work on getting the bugs out of the mast rotation.

Thanks guy.
