Default Schooners Down wind handling ability

Hey Schoonertrash,

How's your boat handle running down wind ?

On my ketch running down wind 15-20 knots wind from the stern quarters
it has a hell of a weather helm that works my wrist bone gristle thin
unless I reduce the mizzen and shift the load further forward. Seems
to me on a Schooner it would be worse.
Is it?

Are Ketches better down wind, And Schooners better upwind?

Joe
