Thanks, Alex. That helps and I'll play with it some. I guess one of my un-written questions was "do the sails just block the wind when hove to, or are they still creating lift?" I gather from your explanation that they are, in fact, still creating lift.

I guess for my situation I need to try to create more weather helm while hove to. I'll mess with it some and see what I can do.

Thanks again.
