[Rhodes22-list] weather helm vs lee helm

[Susan Crane]

Can you give a few more details on what you mean by adjusting the rigging.
My boat has always tended to have a mild lee helm. One day I went out and
fiddled with sails, weight (eg full vs empty water tank in the bow) and the
centerboard and could not get it to sail with weather helm.  I didn't know
to adjust the rigging.  So what adjustment would you start with?

My Rhodes has a mild weather helm - as you would want. A lee helm means that
the sails are out of balance with the boat and this can be fixed by
adjusting the rigging.

I saw a post somewhere (not here) that stated the Rhodes 22 has lee helm. Is
this true? I am new here as well as to sailing and looking for my 1st and
probably last boat. I think the Rhodes would fit the bill. I never sailed on
a boat with leem helm. Seems frightening..........

Thanks,
JimA
