Reply to: Massive Tiller preasure - Hobie 16 - (Aus - Victoria)

[quote=timd999]Hi, just purchased our first Hobie 16, it appears to be a early 80's model, Besides the mask having almost no rake, which we have adjusted the tiller from day one has an enormous amount of pressure. With us adjusting the rake its now has even more. I had a friend that use to sail cats a long time ago jump on and test it and said it was not normal, but had no clues. Looking at the tiller its looks straight with no obvious signs that the rudders are towing in or out. Not sure if this is a clue but it wants to pull into the wind, which we are fighting to keep it on a tack. I'm not the fittest but its a real strain to sail more than 40mins handing on to the tiller. Any suggestions on where to look or what to do would be appreciated. (The previous owner is no longer) regards Tim[/quote]
