A recent post to the group observed: < Weathercocking is when the boat wants to veer off the wind.> I've thought that weathercocking was the tendency of a boat to veer *into* the wind, what I used to call a "weather helm" in my (ancient) sailing days. Is the term also used for what I'd call a "lee helm"?
