Default Stiff helm?

Are you saying the lack of 'balanced ends' doesn't make boat round up
when heeled?

Hull form itself should not cause excess weather helm, the hull form and the

hull form/ clr, changing the ce/sail plan should enable one to balance the
boat, even steer it, though I'm sure this would be quite an adventure,
especially in strong winds!

Now the question is, if the hull form itself causes a very strong round


up and the wind was very strong could one achieve balance her by the
hull with no rudder?
