P.S. If you rake the rudders too much, you'll get lee helm and this is bad. With lee helm the boat will be turn downwind and sail away if you fall off.
Ahhhhh, so I should maybe just rake the rudders forward perhaps 10mm at a time?, go out and sail to see what changes have been made, and if it still feels heavy, rake them forward another 10mm?.
That way I can get the weatherhelm to not feel so dramatic?, I understand wanting a little weatherhelm so as the boat will turn [safely] into the wind when I let go of the tiller.
Does this mean I could further rake my mast back, and increase the rake of the rudders forward to counteract the effects of raking the mast back?.
