I have another problem with my Hobie. It turns always to the right. Just look at my video and please coment what could be the problem. I checked Rudders assembly and it is OK. Both Rudders looks a bit bigger on their right side. Maybe that is it. Boat is one year old... All the best S.

Samo, I've found that my wave will always try to turn up wind and is grossly accentuated by the amount of mast rake. Basically, if I take my hand off the tiller it will always head upwind and stall into irons. I've always considered that to be normal. Sorry, that's all I've got. :-(

Thank you Steve. But mine turns once with the wind and when I turn it it goes to the wind..Always turns right. The Seller said that the Rudders are the problem, so he will send me new ones. I'm waiting alreaddy 4 months for them...
All the best S.

I'm primarily a monohull sailor and if what I can see in the video is that your boat is turning to windward which is a built in safety factor so if you fall overboard your boat won't sail away without you
When I first took Thunderstruck out I notice that the boat tracks beautifully but could easily see the boat sailing away if I went over. However once I put a bit of rake in the mast I notice it handled just like yours which I think is a good thing
I hope this answers some questions
