Reply to: Raking my rudders and balancing my boat

[quote=arch]when that 'lee helm' feeling (having to push the tiller to keep the boat on line) has happened on boats that i have sailed, it was due to the fact that the rudder tips were rotated too far under the hull (forward.) once we got them back a bit, the helm became balanced. and if we rotated them backwards a bit, we got weather helm (having to pull on the tiller to keep the boat on line.) on a nacra, there is a set screw at the bottom of the rudder casting but i'm not sure what you have on your rudders that you can adjust. even sticking a shim in there temporarily should tell you if that's the problem. i'm also wondering why the foot of your sail it not in the mast track? you've got a batten near the foot which needs to be in the track to work properly. j<!-- editby --><em>Edited by arch on Sep 28, 2012 - 10:48 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
