Doesn't that give you a fairly unbalanced helm? That's a lot of CE forward.
Not on a cutter rig (mast at ~40-50% LOA) where the combined CE is
usually in front of the mast.
With a lot of CE forward, it seems to make sense that one would have lee helm.
This in and of itself seems unbalanced to me. I'd much rather have a bit of
weather helm vs. lee helm.
