Tilting the rudder forward solves the problem and reduces the possibility of ventilation.
If the mast is vertical, I would tilt the rudder forward as much as possible and then rake the mast back until the rudder feels right.
A totally neutral helm is not ideal, so don't try to completely eliminate weather helm.


Thanks Luiz, but i don't understand the rule for which if I move the rudder forward i reduces the weather helm. please explains me. The sail is not old but it could be cut badly


It does not look natural, but tilting the rudder forward may improve its balance, depending on how it is now. I'll try to find a drawing.


instinctively I think tilting the rudder forward move the CLR forward and inreases the weather helm ..... and don't understand ......
