Sold my Nacra 20 and bought a 2007 Hobie Tiger to race with my 14 year old daughter.
So far I hate the way it steers. I keep raking the mast back and still the steering is way too neutral. Upwind I have intermittend lee helm and downwind the lee helm can get so bad that I almost push myself off the boat, especially when coming down a wave. Raising the boards downwind seems to help some, but not enough.
I can't believe this is normal. What do I have set up wrong?
Mast rake is between upper and lower gudgon on the transom. Any further back and I'll be block-to-block on the main. Rudder rake is not adjustable short of glueing in material.
Any help would be great...
