Either way, a dead give-a-way is the constant helm corrections.
somthing aint right.

What ain't right is your absurd assumptions about the constant helm
corrections. There is no modern, high performance sailboat with fin
keel/spade rudder combo that doesn't need constant helm corrections when
running with the seas on or abaft the quarter. It's the nature of the beast.
Duh!

two comments Wilbur:
1, I agree the boat type is absurd and simply not a safe designe for
most people. still a helm should not have to drive a boat that much.
It an indacation somthin aint ballanced right. my boat handled a bit
that way too. but i had 300+ pounds of chain and a 45lb anchor in the
bow.......

2., I belive the correct tem is simply "quarter". No other language is
needed to give that area on a vessel meaning.
but your use may be a local dialect. I other words, locate the
"quarters" on a vessel.
But i got your idea. those kind of boats are dangerous in an amature's
hands.
