Firstly is this for an existing yacht or a future yacht?

But as guide for an existing yacht gently lift your feet / hands off the steering for a moment if the yacht starts to go "up" wind the "centre of effort" is behind the "centre of resistance" if the yacht goes the other way the CE/CR is the other way around.
I hope I haven't confused you.
