I have a fairly large spinnaker that I occasionally use with my Nacra 5.5SL.

When the wind picks up beyond a light breeze it gets quite a bit of lee helm (ie I have to push on the tiller to keep on course and not get blown to far down wind)

So my understading is I should
1) Rake mast back
2) Move rudder toe back

Is this Correct?

Of course this then messes up my upwind and non spinnaker handling. But basically the boat was not designed for a spinnaker and the spinnaker I have is to big for this boat. But I got it used for a good price so I am not complaining. Anyone want to trade a 225-230 sqft spi for a 300 sqft spi in good condition?
