Yeah, it's that spin. I'll check my rake but the boat feels pretty balanced so i don't think that's the issue. From what jake's describing, it seems i'm rigging my pole quite a bit higher than he was, just below my furler. I think i'm trading off pole height with pole length in this case for luff tension. I'm not really racing smod so it doesn't really matter. Although i'm curious to hear everyone's opinion if having a higher, but longer pole is a bad thing.
