I finally got my 5.8 with a spin put together and out racing this weekend.

We did very well (embarssingly well for the first time out, already getting grief about our handicap number), the only concern I have with the boat is that there is a fair bit of lee helm with the kite up. Not enough to make it difficult to control, but enough that it feels like it must be hurting performance.

The boat is well balanced upwind, and I don't think I can decrease the pole length. Is there any other way to decrease the lee helm, or is just something I have to live with? How much lee helm is normal on factory kite boats?
