I do keep the weight forward, usually till the bow is is averaging about 4-5"out of the water, I will try more s turns as you describe. This boat really dosnt come alive till the wind is +12mph. after that it really wakes up but I am still not happy with the pointing.
It's a very clean boat and I hate to take my chances with an upgrade to a 5.8, The lake that I sail on (Lake Pleasant Az) is very rocky and the winds are very flukey. Boardless is beautifill. one les thing to do when landing and the wind does a 90 and goes from 5 to 15mph.
Thank all of you for your input.
