1. In tuning your rudders on a hobie 16, how much if any weather helm should you have?

2. I have a '86 16. I want to be sure that I have the new shroud length so that I can rake my mast back optimally. How long are the new shrouds?

You should have a slight weather helm on a reach or run. Often some weather helm ging upwind is little or even leeward helm on a reach. Lee helm is not a good thing.

Shrouds... 18' 11" I think.
