Not sure if this is the right place for this . Have a look at
www.emwmarine.co.uk a new range of cruiser/racers is being
launched in the UK.

I suspect this is a sneaky attempt at viral marketing but I'll comment anyway. Doesn't the photo show an awful lot of weather helm at a modest angle of heel? |

Judging by how the hemsman is holding the tiller, I'd suggest that the tiller is angled up, rather than to windward, so I dont think it has a lot of weather helm.... That aside, close reaching will produce weather helm, as the jib is no longer as efficient as the main on this point of sail. |

Better to be overpowered in the gusts than underpowered in the lulls!

Up to a point, but in most keelboat classes, the amount of weather helm is more related to the heel angle than anything else. |
