Default What makes a boat weatherly?

Yes he does, he now agrees that the rudder gives lift with weather helm.
Read it again carefully.


*You* read it again carefully, stupid.

What Matt said was the the drag caused by the rudder angle was more of a penalty on
forward velocity than the lift was a gain in VMG. In his second statement, he said
that the geometry was such that the rudder's lift produced torque. Do you know what
*that* means?
