it doesn't bother us; in fact we both like it when the boat moves around a bit. However, if we didn't like it we'd put a steady sail on the mast and boom.

Another solution is to use a stern anchor. We do this when the wind comes from one direction and the waves from another. This is a not-uncommon condition in some of the long, narrow anchorages we have up here. We set the stern anchor to hold us into the waves so we pitch rather than corkscrew. We carry a large Fortress on the swimstep for this purpose.
