Default RE: sea lite

Hello All !
Few days ago on my birthday I got a present - Sea Lite.
I was in big surprise because it was my 40th birthday and I never before operate with any RC boats.
I try to use it on the lake near my house and got so big fun that i never got before for many years ! [sm=sunsmiley.gif]
It was incredible !
I love this kind of sport very much!
I understand that this is just a toy , or better to say, toy model, but it so great to filling myself as a captain of yacht, notwithstanding the fact that it just a toy
I have to say , that for newcomer, it's very very hard to operate this one using just a sail.
I tried hard and hope, got some success.
But I got some problems too.
1 it was very hard to keep it on course on the wind
2 practically impossible to go on contrary wind
3 it's very hard to operate in gusty wind
4 It's very hard to operate in lite wind
5 it's very easy to lay it on shipboard
If you count how many times I use word !QUOT!hard!QUOT!, you can trust me - I tried very hard

So, questions is:

1 How do you think, is the sail square enough for this boat? Can I do smt to enlarge it?
2 Is it use full to enlarge ballast on the keel to extend stability of my favorite toy? Pls, see picture above, immersion is big enough.
3 is it useful to enlarge mast?

I'll be very lucky if you can answer on this questions

PS: My 2,5 year young son learn quickly to operate this boat using motor, of course
PPS: English is not my native language so, pls , be indulgent
PPPS: My colleague decided to buy the Sea Lite after our sail 'evolution' and regading this- question
How we can use RC at the same time to make sort og regata, wil we impede each other?
