Default rig tuning suggestions

Are you sure it's a rigging issue, beyond what you've stated toward the
end? Did you notice or not notice this prior to the new rigging?


truthfully no, I don't know for a fact that it is a rigging issue and in
fact I did notice this prior to the new rigging. I replaced the rigging
because it may have been the original gear on the 40 year old boat. We
got a large set of invoices for work done when we bought the boat in
2000, but no record of the standing rigging ever having been replaced.

Another poster mentioned keel/rudder alignment. Unless the boat came out
of the mold wrong, and I don't think it did because this assymetry has
only been noticed for two seasons, I will look closer at the rudder when
it comes out in the fall if I can't resolve this by tweaking the rigging.


Here's a tuning guide for manually tuning a C&C.. not sure what boat you
have.
