Thanks Matt, Will run those variations and send you the results, I can say for sure is that I lean forward and edge away from the turn when using a sweep and edge into the turn when using a reverse sweep. I think I lean towards the stern for a reverse sweep and that the effect is similar whether turning on the spot or moving forward, usually I'm turning on the spot when going upwind, but its worth checking again. I'll be down the south coast this weekend with 25 to 30 knot winds and 3m swell forecast so will try to find a more sheltered spot otherwise might have to be next weekend to try your suggestions. All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
