"Sailing" on the hook

Previously when Panope had no-pilothouse and was Schooner rigged, she did not have a sailing problem. My gut feeling is that my modifications have added windage aft so maybe it is now even better. However, many of my better "theories" have proven incorrect. We'll just have to wait and see.

I may need to start an intervention on Panope. You have an anchor addiction if your hoping to get "caught".
