[quote=WillSail]The rubber cleats are aluminum, attached to the carbon fiber kick up releases. I think I ran 1/4" Vectran line for all the halyards and rudders, but it's been 6 years since I rigged the boat. I would have to assume that having my mast perfectly vertical is contributing to the weather helm. Looking at most images of cats they seem to have a little aft rake. I was a pretty hardcore Laser sailer when I got the Nacra, so I rigged it with that sort of mindset.
Lasers run a purchased downhaul on the rudder, so I was pretty certain that I had addressed any issues of the rudders creeping up being an issue. The weather helm does not necessarily get worse the longer I stay out, it's just once I get up to speed, it requires wrapping my arm around the tiller extension, or almost both hands when flying a hull. Considering how fast I was going, I sort of didn't mind it. In the one race I did with the boat it was a bit of a pain and seemed like something that was costing me boat speed.
