Yea i'll try that, it sounds logical as well i mean how ca they put so many different sized sails on the same boat and think they work just as good as boat specially designed for that type of sailing. I could never imagin trapeasing off the size of a boat that can also have one sail and used to teach 10 year olds for the first time.

The race sail is too big for the boat! A little secret Topper have tried to keep to themselves.  I would guess that with the race main and jib your lead (distance between CE centre of effort, sails, and the CLR centre of lateral resistance, foils) has gone negitive, i.e. the CE has moved in front of the CLR.  Normally the CE would be behind the CLR and you get a bit of weather helm.

Why not try not using the jib to see if that sorts the problem.
