[Alberg30] weather helm

[George Dinwiddie]

Yes, I find that the Alberg 30 has little weather helm when the sails 
are properly balanced.  The first years we owned the boat, I wouldn't 
have agreed.  Then we replaced our old stretched mainsail with a new 
one, and it made a huge difference.  That old sail is wonderful in light 
air, but has too much draft when the breeze comes up.

If you're experiencing chronic weather helm, do yourself a favor and 
spring for a new mainsail.
