Thanks for the thanks and for the computer advice, hopefully Rob will open the file as it was written on Word so I don't know what was wrong.
I had a first sail with the booms back on and swinging seperatley to the mast. Thesail shape is much nicer and the mast can sit somewhere about 30- 40 deg off the angle of the boom. I think I could feel it more powerful.
I also painted the rudders and found the smooth paint made a differnce to turning and a smoother less turbulant flow.

OK. Do you get your wing mast sticking a bit? Perhaps my bearings are too rough as the boom comes round when you pull the sheets in, but the wind directly and...
G'day, A bit of drag on the wing is a good thing as it should have less angle than the boom. If the bearings are smooth, it is probably a balance issue, which...
