I posted this in the Open Forum but think this might be a better place....

Greetings... I am curious how far into the furler assem. others put their adjuster? i know this effects mast rake and is also adjusted for wind/wave conditions and is also effected by halyard length (and stretch) but would love to hear how others do it.

I am curious because when i fly my hulls... i have wicked weatherhelm and when i rake forward (and if lucky enough to have high tides and have my boards all the way down)it is a little better.

thanks

We sail with 1 or 2 holes showing below the furler.

However, if you have excessive weather helm I would check the toe in and rake of your rudders.
