Dave, Your "wobble" is a "yaw", methinks. Been waiting years to use that word. On Jun 26, 2012, at 11:19 AM, W David Scobie wrote:
the M17 likes to be a bit more flat than the M15. i find SWEET PEA sails better with some heal ... more than a P15 or P19.
the M15 will 'wobble' port to starboard some, from about 10 degrees one side to 10 degrees other side (ie, 20 deg. arc) if you try to keep her flat as her hull shape 'wants' her to heel. much more 'stable' if you have her leaning to one side.
hull shapes, when looking closely, are very different on the M17 and M15, especially the hull shape port and starboard of the keel, and aft of the keel.

Dave, My first little boat was a Potter 14, which sails best flat. I assumed an M17 likes to be flat too, but I never checked. What you think? Tom Jenkins M17 Scintilla
