Coming from cat sailing and still feeling my way around in a laser. Here's a basic question: When I'm fully hiked out (properly according to various guides found here) and get to the point where the boat is nice and flat, I constantly get smacked by waves. I don't mind getting wet (much) but it tends to slow the boat way down. This is in the ocean where there is wind chop and swells. Suggestions? Like...don't hike out as much? Don't keep the boat as flat?
