Here's what really happened when Donal experienced the delay in course change
aboard a badly trimmed Beneteau.
He put the wheel over ( not HARD over) for a tack and the boat failed to
respond as quickly as his performance oriented 1st series. It did NOT hold it's
course for 2 SECONDS before responding. If anything there was a delay of a
fraction of a second and the boat altered course slowly.

There there, Donal...now isn't that what REALLY happened?
