Nice to see Bingham's take on how a Flicka should be set-up. I scanned them at very high resolution, so zoom in and check out the details!

Also, here are couple of links to some video of the ST 2000 helming Nomad downwind in fresh conditions, with a fairly good sea running:

As you can see, she rolls heavily downwind, but never broaches. I can dampen out the motion if I hand steer, but the tillerpilot does alright too.
