Thanks Doug,

Thanks for the info. Two fingers??? :? Are any of these tuning tips in the Rick White videos you were referring to? I have mast reke, rudder rake and I still get tiller resistance to weather, although I did sail with a heavier crew than usual yesterday. And most of the time I sail solo. Here I go again Matt. My boat is set up as per the recommendations of the Hobie University manual. Oh well, I guess it's back to the drawing board. Thanks agan Doug. Will let you know how the videos turned out.

You MUST have some weather helm. And this stuff is not in the videos. That you learn from the old salts and pass down. You should be able to hold with very little pull. As I said I got it down to 3 finger at about 290 +- crew weight back in 79-82. It is a trial and error. It takes a lot of playing with all the adjustments. You will LOVE the seminars. Get his book too. CR for the 90's.

Glad I could pass this on. Hope it helps. We for one big family here. Training grand daughter now and twins next.

Doug
