G'Day,

Many thanks to all who helped with practical and theoretical advice on my
bad forward sweep. This weekend was able to confirm some of the observations
for myself and came to a few conclusions of my own. In windless, currentless
conditions managed 50 to 80 degree turns with a reduction in forward speed
of very roughly 4 to 2 knots. Not very smooth yet, need lots more practise,
only tipped over twice!

All the best, PeterO
