Yes indeed. So, is it the "hull form" that is causing the torque or is it
heeling?

Take two boats, say a canoe stern and a modern form but same sailplan.
balance them and then raise wind speed. One will round up more than the
other... Obviously outside your 'extensive' experience Doug, or too
difficult to understand?

Don't bother with more of your pompous bluster, we who have sailed such
boats can see you haven't. I think's it's typical that you try to avoid
the real question at hand which is: Can a modern high speed hull shape
(e.g a V60) be balanced across WIND SPEEDS AND SEAS with a FREE rudder
by using hull form! Could it be that you can't find the answer with a
dinghy sailing manual?

By the way, if you start to loose the helm with a spinnaker up you ease
the sheet through the winch very quickly. Try to remember that if you
ever get invited to race a BIG boat.
