Can it be that raking forward is removing excessive rake and ending up with only 6-10 inches rake? is. Maybe was 10-15 and has been reduced to 6-10 inches???? Also - I second the baggy sails opinion. Our previous boat had a great tendency to round up in a puff. Was George Hinterhoeller designed and buil Niagara 26. Replacing the 1979 25 year old main with a new sail made a huge difference. The new sails were not only significantly faster but they changed how the boat sailed. Where before we would require a double reef after the new sail wa a single reef, where was a single reef was no reef, where before was a lot of heel after was much less heel. Boat also points a bit higher. Cannot say enough about replacing a sail that is 20 or more years old - if you can afford it this is the single best upgrade on an old sailboat. If I am not mistaken there are a lot of sail controls on a C&C30-1 that can also be adjusted to make the sail flatter and move draft forward. Starting with halyard tension, cunningham. We have a very high percentage of the boats at our club as C&C30-1. At one time we had 6 and I think now still have I think 5. The boats seem to really love 15-20 knots and struggle with the light stuff. The skippers who push them a bit in 20 knots get a lot of good stuff from the boat. I do not recall seeing any of them round up. Is a great boat in a breeze Mike

I have never tried that but I don't think it would work good upwind...6-10 inches should be good, something else might be the problem ________________________________ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Aaron Rouhi Sent: November 27, 2013 3:55 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List 30 MKI weather helm Hmmm.... I always thought with more mast rake the Center Of Effort moves further aft which means wind pushing the boat from behind the CLR and as a result weather helm increases so using that logic I raked it forward to move COE forward. Am I wrong? Cheers, Aaron R.

Rake aft about six to eight inches and see what happens.
