I got bollixed up and misused "weather helming" to refer to a boat which was lee cocking. I did not realize weather helm was an exact substitute for weathercock. Does anybody have a link to an authoritative etymology of these terms? Thanks a heap. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
