See! I told you I wasn't a teacher. I am confusing further, when trying to clarify.



You have got me all wrong Ed! I am suggesting the leading edge of the rudder to be turned toward weather by about 1º. Or rather Frank Bethwaite is. Not turned away, turned toward; as in me pulling on the tiller.



That happens to be the same amount of angle as the amount of deflection that the centerboard is changing the flow of water. That means that once the centerboard has passed through the water, the water is striking the rudder at the exact same angle if you pull it up to weather a degree.



I hope that clears up the mis-understanding and I encourage you to eliminate or edit your last post since it woud only confuse a reader. I will take my own advice and edit my last post.
