Default headsail furlers -the good, the bad and the ugly...sound off!

Yes size helps, but Xan's original rudder was scimitar-shaped with slab
sides and a center of effort about 10" behind the pintles. The rudder I
built had the same wetted surface, but was SO much better, very little
"helm" until we were well heeled.

Sounds like you're well heeled already! (I mean understanding what's
what... sorry, stupid pun.)

No problem. I was hunting for a different pun, but yours is a good
alternative and a nice compliment at the same time ;-)

Thanks for that.
