[quote=clymbon][quote=rpiper138]Loosen the main as you pass through the wind. If the mainsheet is in hard, it will tend to pull you into the wind. ... It is very similar to the windsurfer. Tip the mast backward and the center of force is behind the rotation point of the boat, the aft is pushed leward and the bow windward. [/quote]
Except when your main fills you immediately pick up speed, and then, unlike a windsurfer, you have a rudder to steer with!
But yeah, I see your point. I'll keep experimenting...
