@@dontait4711 Hey man, I am 26 and in Canada and literally the other night prior to seeing your comment, I found myself thinking about how my Father makes it through with both of his parents gone.. I honest to God could not understand what it is like to go through it, I know it will always happen and hopefully they are in a much much better place then here. Knowing that possibility definitely makes it easy. Unfortunately nothing can take away the pain of the loss of someone so close, only time, and grieving in your own way. Hope you are alright brother, keep on keeping on.. He wouldn't want anything less for you than to make the most out of the time we have! :)

Yawing isn't necessarily the issue, it's the direction of movement vs the yaw angle, and the speed of the yaw. Fish tailing in the water at speed isn't good, and drifting/donuts in the water at speed is a recipe for rapid occupant ejection and potential watercraft deconstruction.
