The first time that I swung the wheel around - nothing happened for about
1-2 seconds.

BWAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHA! You've got to be KIDDING!!! This is your
explanation???
BWAHAHAHAAHAHA! The boat had a 2 second DELAY to reacting to the
rudder????

Maybe it was only one second. There was a definite delay.



BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!

Oh, my Dear Donal...you've simply outdone yourself!!! I only wish I'd
written
your story as my own! Think of the response I would have gotten!

Nobody would have believed you. Then again, nobody ever does!

Still for a few minutes at a time it is possible on a well
tuned/trimmed boat with no lashing.

100% true. Properly trimmed sails will ballance the boat and rudder.

huh?

Are you insane? For the rudder not to have an instant perceptable effect,
Beneteau would be guilty of the all-time worst boat design since the Mac26x.

Did I sound impressed??

Sheesh! The mainsheet was controlled by a winch on the coachroof, there
was no travellor, the steering was crap, etc. etc.

Bear in mind that this was an 11 year old design. You probably wouldn't
have noticed anything amiss.

No kidding.....what a revelation!

Yup. To some.

Yes, I remember those "slow rudder" designs from the late 80's and early 90's.

Donal, you are INSANE.

According to his response to Loco, it's hi-tech compared to his boat.

Hey, Steve...got any of those slow acting rudders??!!!
Maybe you can help out Donal like you helped poor scotty with his boat choice!

"If Scotty was interested in resale he bought the wrong boat."

Bwahaahahahahaha!

Bob, I hope that you are not trying to divert attention away from your poor
performance in this thread.


Let's get back onto the subject. Are you saying that all rudders,
regardless of sizem will produce an immediate course change when pushed full
over?
