Couple of weeks ago, somebody asked about ways to change the weathercocking 
tendency of his boat with minimal damage, ballast solution was excluded.

I have been thinking about it and can discuss with you off line, if you are 
still interested. Unfortunately I erased by mistake the address.

If you can contact me directly IŽll elaborate on a way to make provisional 
changes in the shape that will not affect the hull original line, until you 
have made your final decision of changes. One satisfied with them you can 
fiberglass the shape that solves the problem of weathercocking. Of course 
the idea was not to use a skeg or a rudder.

Thanks
