My tends to wag quite a bit while on my mooring. I assume that a lot of you have the same problem. Any cures that you guys can suggest???? I have tried leaving the centerboard down a bit, but I dont like doing this because of the possibility of the mooring line getting wrapped around it. Same goes for the rudders.

Hello:
This subject is discussed extensively in the archives. try searching for "anchor riding sail" or "anchoring." We all suffer from the same behavior at anchor and most of have tried numerous ways to quell it.
