So I had the Supercat 15 out yesterday in 15-20 winds, unfortunately, it was the season's maiden voyage.
Had a blast but this year I was really burying the bows, and yes, eventually pitch poled it
I have had the boat for about 5 years and never come close to pitch poling it before.
Earlier in the season, put on new bridle wires, so I am suspecting that my old settings are no longer valid
Do I need to put more rake in the mast to get the bows up a bit more?
I typically sail this boat with my weight as close to forward beam as possible, but yesterday, I was way back at rear beam and even then was burying the bow pretty well.
Absolutely dry hulls on this boat, so I know I wasn't carry excess water weight and I dropped 15 pounds myself, so no need for that conversation.
Your advice is appreciated
