[MHml] helm increase during hull flying

[Peter Lillywhite]

The Azuli is a 20 year old design. The hulls and underside of the
bridgedeck was I believe moulded in one piece avoiding the usual
alignment problems. We have taken the boat out each winter, measured for
rating plus undertaken the odd repair and never noticed any asymmetry.
However like all things I guess if you measure carefully enough you will
find errors.
 
Peter.

Hi Peter !
 
Your leeward helm problem leads me to my second question to you: 
 
Are you sure your hulls are totally symmetrically ?
