Hey, In high winds last week it became obvious that the rudder doesn't exert enough control in high winds. Anyone tried a bigger rudder. Making one out of Carbon fiber would be easy enough. |

Lee, I don't believe just making a bigger rudder is the way to go. If the current rudder is not powerful enough, this is due to there being too much sail out. Try reducing sail a bit and balance (and speed) will improve. |

Or the boat isn't balanced well. Solo on the TI in the front seat the stern is almost out of the water and the rudder loses it's grip. |

Hakas will keep you balanced in any wind. You'll still need to reef if riding solo on the TI. |

I guess "Real Men" don't discuss it. |

Is that some sort of little reefer? Is someone who covers a furlong called a furler? How do I stop my mast turning? My fins keep bending when I pedal. How do I make them stiff? My auto drains on the hulls don't seem to work, should I close them when sailing? Enquiring minds need to know these things
