The waggle in the wake always struck me as the most ludicrous of AR's dicta. I can understand it if one is sailing down the wind when a good helmsman would try and sail a straight line towards the destination or the course set down but going upwind, a good sailor will try and take advantage of any momentary windshift to get a litle more to windward regardless of the appearance of the wake.
