[Rhodes22-list] Lee helm

[Shawn Boles]

Hi All:

I couldn't sail at all last year due to septicemia, and so this year I was
anxious to get back in the water and finally did so last week.

As some of you know I spent the last several years or so chasing how to
correct lee  helm, including an ill-fated attempt to rake the mast.(blush)

I tried the method suggested in a set of emails over the past year- lifting
and locking the kick up rudder so it is slightly aft of the stern, rather
than tightly pulled to the stern. It worked!

All hail the list.

Cheers,
Shawn
