    Did you mean to type "seems to turn..."?
    I have seen a few Freestyle 474's, but never sailed on one. Yours Cat is boomless, just let it turn. It will line up so the wind moves smoothly around it & along the sail.

  • yes i did mean "seems" and it is boomless so i will just leave it.
  • You don't want to prevent it, but going downwind, if you're traveled out, you may want to force it to rotate more. Being traveled out and sheeted in will pull on the sail (a la outhaul) and pull the mast a bit more towards the rear beam.
