Morning.
Boat back in water yesterday. New featherstream fitted in place of LH volvo 3 blade folder.
MD2030D saildrive, deep high profile fin and rudder. 11.5m waterline, 3.7m max beam. Doug Peterson design.
During testing in the bay, zero wind and tide, the boat pulls off to the right under motor.
Apply 1deg of port helm cures it, but hands off the tiller and round in circles before you know it.
Helm feels just like rounding up under sail, lots of pressure.
Previously the most stable boat I've ever been on.
Original 17 x 11 now 16 x 12
