weather helm - one one side only!
Sorry if the answer is in the FAQs.
I have 2 Hobie 16s, and the strange thing is, they have more weather helm one one side than the other.
On the first, the Port tack is favored, and on the other, the Starboard tack is favored. This is going straight out and then back again to the starting point.
Hulls are dry, rudders appear to be aligned correctly, I am at a loss. Any help would be appreciated!

It is possible that unequal shroud lengths can cause such a conditions. I have successfully diagnosed an unequal weather helm that was caused by a shroud that was twisted and fouled at the top; this caused it to pull the mast to one side.
