Hull form itself should not cause excess weather helm, the hull form and the
sail plan together cause the excess. Since the rudder is also part of the
hull form/ clr, changing the ce/sail plan should enable one to balance the
boat, even steer it, though I'm sure this would be quite an adventure,
especially in strong winds!

Now the question is, if the hull form itself causes a very strong round
up and the wind was very strong could one achieve balance her by the
hull with no rudder?

Are you saying the lack of 'balanced ends' doesn't make boat round up
when heeled?

Has, not is. The outcome of your dedication to chocolate. WHich

I'm afraid I can't eat chocolate or donuts...sadly.

RB

Not to worry. I'll try to get a nice donut wake photo for you on
the weekend, there's a roll of film I want to finish off.; then
you can do a virtual donut.
