Yes, Dan, that's right. Don't let anyone tell you that your going to school was a waste of time! Now that's 96lb on each square foot of your topsides, and if you have an upper helm, then you have no shortage of topsides. All this pushing on an object which is essentially mounted on a friction-free surface, and it's not too surprising that it can be difficult to control. Aren't you glad that you're not trying to handle a container ship in close quarters in a cross-wind?
I typed all those figures in nice neat columns, but they became scrambled up when I submitted the message. I'm glad that you were able to get something out of it.
