Michael,
We need more information. What was the wind speed? Chop? And how fast were  
you going? (hull speed throught the water)

Went  out with the family on Sunday and wanted to play it safe.
Drew the IMF  mainsail approx halfway on the boom (the letter R on the sail
wasn't  showing).
Wanted to keep things simple and used no jib. Centerboard was  down all the
way.
The boat stayed flat as a pancake which was the  desired effect. 
My wife wants no heeling whatsoever. Problem I had was I  couldn't tack. 
It even had a hard time getting into irons and just  couldn't cutover.
The only way I could change direction was to spin 2/3's  around in a jibe.
I didn't want to experiment and let out more sail so we  just enjoyed 
sailing
the next hour like this.
Is this normal behaviour?  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Michael
