Oh... and make sure the hull, particularly the rudder and keel are free of
all growth..

Simplest solution based on the rig being setup correctly is to Flatten the
Mainsail. Outhaul, Cunningham/Halyard, Vang and Backstay cranked on..
Ease the traveler before dumping main sheet.

I've got a (new to me) 1992 Beneteau First 310
(http://coconut.ereidy.com/) that has some pretty severe weather helm
when the wind blows above about 15 knots. How realistic is it to think
that I can trim her up to the point that I can eliminate it? Is there
an order of preference in going about reducing it? Thanks, -Matt
