Re: Righting

Craig and I have righted his wide TM 20 several times. You need a little wind and get it 90 degrees to the wind.

Re: understanding weather helm

Experiment.... Swap your rudders to see if the problem persists. I suspect rudder rake as the 1st issue , butt, you never know.

Re: Batten Length SC 17

Before you start cutting, you may want to test each batten to see where they bend in order to be able to shape the sail effectively.

Re: Mast Rake

Hello all, I have been under the impression that we should rake back as the wind grows.... and adjust rudder rake accordingly. Maybe the 11 degree rake suits your average wind condition. I see that the H-16's rake a lot in heavy weather and are able to correct out over fastr more powerful boats. May...
