I use white electrical tape around my Victoria hatch, each time I sail. It is cheap and effective and looks OK. Hatch seal is very important.

For boat trim, it is important to sail straight, without using the rudder (brake) constantly. This is done with mast rake. If the boat turns into the wind a lot (high wind days), rake mast forward. On low wind days, when boat turns away from the wind, rake mast aft.
