Ii might be because your line tension is a little too loose. If you pull the T-Handle out about an inch or 2 and lock it in the line clamp, that should provide enough tension on the setup to keep the floppy looseness out and maintain the correct orientation (straight).
Thanks! a few questions.
By T handle do you mean the rudder handle on the left hand side? Do you know how to remove this? is there a screw or something under the center cap / badge that i need to take off? The line certainly doesn't feel loose, i mean any small turn on the handle definitely translates to the rudder moving, but will check it.
Am i right in saying that this isn't a general problem with the Compass and that i am alone in having this issue? It feels like there should be some kind of spring or centering mechanism that defaults the rudder to straight, or does it rely on the bulk of the actual rudder being behind the pivot point so that it "automatically centers" itself?
Cheers.
