[quote=windadict][quote=DamonLinkous][quote=scotts1w]Is the bias preference slight windward helm..... so the boat automatically rounds up if the tiller is dropped? Slight, so you are not fighting the helm and applying brakes all the time? Guess I need to read up on "tuning for dummies".[/quote]
Here you go.
If you can read and digest the information in this article you will have it nailed and be considered a guru of helm.

Thanks Damon, that is good reading with lots of info.
"Mast rake increases weather helm which increases tiller tug and resultant drag..."
Based on this, I am planning on adding 5 hole plate to the forestay to increse the rake and if that will result in tiller tug, i will move rudders forward. The increased rake should decrease lee helm.
Am I right or missing something?[/quote]
