Well I've never seen that, my initial reaction is the fin is too big our you didn't go deep enough downwind.
Here's my NM PB tracks from Lilacs Albany. These are typical tracks for down wind and back upwind for me, and everybody else there seemed to be doing a similar thing. I didn't see anybody able to sail back to the start of the run in one tack


OK, I've realised all my sailing is done in weed these days, so this was a heavily raked fin, 16cm at 50degs and only a 43cm board. downwind run was flat and upwind runs a bit choppy. May have a bearing on the situation.
