The trick is to get more wind resistance as far aft as possible. Have noted just putting the dinghy up on its davits improves things as did installing two D400 wind generators on 4” ss poles. Would think even leaving the aft sun enclosure up with the sides down might help a bit. Basic problem is the bow falls off. More commonly on power than sail because major wind resistance forward on a sailboat is the rolled headsails but on power its this size it’s the house and placement. One would expect boats like the Dashews, Artnautica and Arksen to hunt less. We anchored next to a Dashew 64 frequently in the Leewards. It was rock solid without a riding sail.
