Wed Mar 5 07:53:18 PST 2025

Greg -- The A30 has an inherent weather helm. So, no rake is best.

Greg,

Reduced the rake aft of the mast from 10" to 4" when replacing the standing rigging on #262 Constance.
The more rake to the mast, the more weather helm at the tiller.

Best wishes,
Jonathan

 I messed with this for years.? If you can get to 3 or 4 inches off the mast, the Alberg sails significantly better.? More than 4 inches and the weather helm is pronounced and annoying and hard on the autopilot.??
