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


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.

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

RB

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.

RB

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

"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?

I'm saying that a two second delay will bring about a perceptable change right
away. Two seconds and then the boat turned? Oh, Okay, Donal!!!


RB

Uh, dopey....now you're claiming you steered HARD OVER?? Lock to lock? Were you
aware of where the rudder was?

Oh, okay!!! Bwahahahahahaha!

That wasn't a claim. It was a question. Do you feel able to answer it?
