In Response To: N24 rudder (pic) (Rod M. Nimble Vagabond "Loligo" S. Gulf Isl. BC)

I appreciate the suggestions. We were out this weekend and I played with the rudderboard. The boat continues to pull very hard on a reach in about 10mph winds. When I put the board down it seemed to make it worse.

Next time I intend to play with taking the mixxen in and see how that affects the speed and handling.

I really appreciate all of the suggestions. We love the boat just trying to figure her out.

All the best, Michael
