No, I have a brand new set of Goodalls.

I think my problem is primarily weight and weight distribution. I weigh 100-105 kg. and positioning is critical, within 5-10 cm. Recently, Stefan (70 kgs?) was on board as crew. I was sitting in, just aft of the shroud. We could not go to weather until he swung forward on the trap. The moment he got near the bridle, the boat took a hitch to weather on it's on. No tiller movement on my part. When he passed a certain point there was a physical jerk and the boat was pointing almost ten degrees higher! From that moment, we were approximating course and speed with Jennifer and Fred on her F18. Hence the conclusion for weight distribution. Weight needs to be forward of the CLR, at least with my short boards.
