Bill,
There is a huge difference between helm's alee and hard alee. Hard Alee
mean the helm is hard against the stops while helms alee means just
enough to bring the bow across the wind without the rudder acting as a
break. Very important in Racing.
Bill, it's a point I won't argue. I'm just saying how I did it.
