Prindle Groups?
I just inherited a Prindle 16. Nice boat, but as I sailed it the first
time, I noticed that the faster I got, the harder it was to move the tiller almost to the point of no steerage at all. My Nacra gets stiffer at speed but never this hard. Is this typical of this boat? Are there any boards like this one devoted to Prindle cats? |

I assume you were fighting "lee helm" or "weather helm" .Try adjusting the rake on the rudders a little. Rake forwards for lee helm and aft for weather helm. DP |
