: Erez, do you still feel it is hard to turn?

yes. my opinion didn't change.

I found it's real responsive if
: you lean it over, what surprised me was that it turned more quickly from a
: low brace reverse sweep than a forward sweep.

all the turning I'm talking about is with leaning.
It could also be that I am "picky", or in other words, I want an easier turn,
but still, it's my opinion.

: Maybe you're light for the
: boat.

maybe....

I weigh 152lb, & the boat weighs......mmm I don't remember, but it's on the webpage. In anycase, it's heavier than you'd expect due to the bulkheads/joints.
