I just got back from sailing the canoe thru East Harbor (Ohio State Park)
and into Lake Erie with a great south wind (I parked my bike at the beach
and rode it into the wind to get my car). I moved the sail and leeboard
forward each time I took it out and each time it improved windward sailing.
I did keep weight forward windward and probably sheeted too tight but had a
great "Nantucket Sleighride" moving aft with the wind. Still lots of
weather helm to the point of no time to eat a sandwich but in a gust it was
exciting. I plan on rigging a rudder but still want to understand the
balance. I do have very limited experience in a Lazer but right now I
prefer the challenge of the canoe.
Thanks for your advice
