Doesn't "fast and far" translate into less work?  Or, did I miss something.
I have a "red" (Eddyline-Falcon 18).  I don't have the hang of keeping it
slowed down to keep the bow from burrying.  Even today in one foot chop
(steep, but close together), the bow will sometimes bury (what Phillip T.
has referred to as "submarining," even when I am leaning back.  In these
waves, it is no problem.   When the waves are over 4, the bow buries deeply
enough to pitchpol.
