The wing keel only has decent weather helm when you are A) overpowered or B) untuned.
You can figure you are overpowered when you a heeling more than say 15 degrees on the WKSR.. get a LEV-O-GAUGE if you are unsure.
Maybe this will help, I don't have perfect trim, and I was just screwing around with the boat that day (mostly with the camera), and I had some REAL lazy tacks... but you can get an idea of heel and tiller position in some of it. Winds looked like they were 10-12ish (again just guessing, as it looks like this was early on in owning the boat).

PS: You'll see me adjusting trim to ease tiller in a couple parts of it. Basically if you have too much weather helm, you drop the traveler.
