Congrats to Chad Smythe Halifax, NS, Canada for correctly answering last week’s Mindbender. “The most common cause of weather helm in modern cruising boats is too tight mainsail trim. To ease weather helm, ease the mainsheet or ease down the traveler. You will sail best and the autopilot will be happiest with about 10 to 105 degrees of weather helm upwind trimmed into the mainsail and jib.”
