MK1 is stiff for sure but I just wish I had less weather helm. I generally reef in anything above 10 knots...

Weather helm yes, it could be a bear. Round ups never. I could bury the rail deep and just keep plowing along. My 30MKII's rudder will stall then round up out of control with to much sail up and not enough tension on the backstay. Too much heel and it gets scary. All that being said im still learning on my MKII _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
