Typhoon Sr. and CD 22D weather helm

Post by Nick Patch »

I am looking to purchase either a Typhoon Sr. or a CD 22D. I test sailed a Typhoon Sr. a few weeks ago in a 20-25 knot breeze. We had full main and part of the jib rolled out. We didn't have time and the boat wasn't set up to reef at the time. My only complaint was the exorbitant amount of weather helm. My question is: Is this innate in the Typhoon Sr or CD 22 or was it as much a result of not having the main reefed as we were a bit overpowered.

Any feedback appreciated.

Thanks, Nick Patch
