[Rhodes22-list] weather helm vs lee helm

[Bauman, Steven W. (GRC-LMT0)]

You want to make sure your Rudder is as far down as it can go, and the retraction line is snugged taut.  I think when it is, it may actually extend a bit forward of its pivot axes.  If the rudder is not down all the way, the tiller forces are much higher.
