In Response To: Nimble Rudder (pic) (Mark N, Nimble Arctic, Jax FL)

Mark,

thank you for all of the help. If your picture is demonstrating the rudderboard fully deployed then mine is the same. I am curious about your thoughts on the mast. My mast does curve ever so slightly backwards where the forestay meets the mast. My rig is the fractional version. I have slowly tightend the forestay and loosened the back stays to see if this has any effect. So far I have not been able to detect any significant change.

Again thank you for your time and energy considering my dilemma. It sounds as though my situation is unique and now I just have to figure out the correct variable(s).
