Come on guys ... We all know that asymmetry rules in nature !!! so >>> THAT'S the answer : ) : )
Start with "red line" hulls w/stiff deck in front of pylons, pin mast way back w/fresh chip under ( or use coin ), make sure traveller clear and runs, sheet in hard upwind, make sure blade toe set + 'special sauce' rake adjustment for finesse on stick then move weight fore aft to keep leeward bow juuuuust kisssing + be fast on jib sheet in da' breeze. Oh and make sure trap lines not frayed too. ... LOL
@ Snorkle, wot? you didn't file trailing edge of your blades ??? : ) : )
Know that the wonderful offshore 'shock absorbing' characteristics of the Hobie Skiff will live longer than any motor you hang on the transom X 4 !
