Posts: 524 Petten Netherlands | Mn3, How do you know it isn't rudder push or whatever the opposite of rudder tug would be?
It would only be "rudder push" if the working point of the rudders were before the pivot point of the rudderstock. And that's very unlikely. I would say to Bob: rake the mast to aft. Put an extra shackle in the fore-stay and adjust the shrouds accordingly. And see how this works.

Posts: 524 Petten Netherlands | David, talking about this paradoxial phenomenas like weather helm and tillertug (and push) remains confusing.
The article from Kim Miller ("Kim Tiller") which I'v presented, gives an first insight in the Babylonical confusion of tongues with regard to this subject. Problem is that in almost every catamaran operation manual is mentioned that weatherhelm can be corrected by raking the rudder.
But we are not the only ones who sail with a hull and a sail. Looking on internet you will find plenty of articles about "rudder balance" (our tug and push) and helmbehaviour from sailingboats in general.
By the way, Mn's problem with leehelm is indeed more difficult than the most common weatherhelm. That's because leehelm is counterforcing the pressure on the rudder by the hulldrift!!!!???!!
Prosit, have a good sailing

Posts: 524 Petten Netherlands | Mini me, no need for pills for this reason. (Though I'm a pill taker) You obviously haven't seen my arms.
I'm a solo catsailor. As a result of that and my 150 kg cat and the steep flood mark I've maxi upperarms.
Good idea for you Mini???
