First time out on the Wave this weekend. Absolute blast.

First time on a boomless boat. The mast looked like it needed a mast rotator, as it seemed turned too far into the wind, by maybe 45 degrees from where it ought to be. Hope this makes sense. Is this normal?

Sorry don't have photos. Will get so.e next time out. Thanks.

Funny - I took mine out for the first time this season a couple of weeks ago and thought something was broken because it rotated so far. Sailing on a reach, the mast will be about 90 degrees around. I guess there is nothing to counter the pull from the luff. Maybe at close hauled it comes back around some - I didn't check.

Normal. The Wave was designed to be very simple. Of course, you can add all kinds of complex controls, but it does not need it.
