Kind of platorm moguls with a double fall line, to use ski slope analogy. I think you're right about making an ajustment at the top of the wave (if he doesn't have crossing wave trains), then adjusting on the backside to realign and set-up for the next one. As Westy points out, there isn't a lot of room for these adjustments laterally because of the narrowness of the channel and other traffic.

A boat needs some speed to be able to manouver -- otherwise the rudder and hull do little. In Craig's case, he also has a relatively beamy boat with relatively small control surfaces.

Speed, within reason, seems his best choice. The main sail will help with dampening oscilations, maybe with the speed; but if the wind is wrong, then it might make Craig's boat less "nimble" if he needs to make real adjustments. (I like having the Maine up in general ; but, not always. On Craig's boat, he'd have to speak for how it's stability is asssited; and, his flexibility affected.)
