I had my Bravo out for the first time this weekend. 5-7mph on Sat and 10-20 on Sunday. From what I can tell, this can really use the boom. The sail changes shape so much with just inches of movement of the sheet, making the performance window of the sail so small. I think there's a lot more to this boat if I can get it.
I also noticed that as soon as you get about 45* in the air, flying a hull the boat wants to go to windward. It's not heavy steering like rudder rack, it just turns. I found smaller movement in the rudder help and I sure balancing the boat better for and aft will help as i get her dialed in. It's funny how different it is going from 13 years on a 16 down to this size boat.
