Dear Charles, <br>Sorry I missed you last month; I got up to Vermont and didn't have your contact info w/me!!! <br>Just a thought on your helm problem; is your rig at all loose? Seems to me, (and I hope the *real* sailors out there will instruct me here!!) that a loose rig, off the wind, will induce more-than-usual weather helm, by shifting forward *and* leeward, moving the CE somewhat leeward, too, which might contribute to weather helm, no? Also, what's your jib doing in all this, can you firm it up some w/out backwinding your main? <br> <br>I repeat my invite to you to come down to Great South Bay. My fold out sofa is always available to a fellow catsailor wishing to try 15kts all day every day. <br> <br>Regards, <br>Ed<br><br>
