[quote=Wolfman]The 5.7 shouldn't need the mast raked back much more than 1 ft. It could also be that you mixed the 2 rudders assemblies up when assembling. The way you tell is that the 2 rudder arms should be bent slightly towards the trampoline. If you mount them backwards your rudders will be toed in seriously and that will affect steering and put the brakes on in a tack.
Technique is most likley the main problem though, not knowing your past cat experience it's hard to know exactly what could be wrong. One thing that is important but often overlooked is the timing of when to cross the boat. Try staying on the old windward side a little longer before crossing.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Wolfman on Jun 28, 2011 - 11:46 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
