Hello, Just wondering if any one has had any experience with this boat having alot of weather helm. In winds over 10 kts it becomes very apperent that something is amiss. Any suggestions on how to fix it would be appreciated. Do I need to tighten the backstay=MORE rake? Thanks, GB

sailing without a rudder
I was a competive sailor years ago. I was a level 2 instructor. It's been about ten years but I remember we practiced sailing without a rudder to lessen the drag of rudder movement while racing. If I remember correctly weather helm is from too much rake. You should try cranking your genoa halyard for starters then make shroud and forstay adjustments if that made a difference.
