Can anyone out there help me? I have a Cole 23 which has large lee helm, I have tried mast rake and I am now fully back on my shroud adjustment. I have tried reducing foresail from jenoa to jib but still the same lee helm. Any help out there or can you direct me to someone who may be able to help. Im in Coffs Harbour area Thanks

Have a chat to your local sailmaker. They should have an idea of whats going on.

Are you talking about upwind sailing?
Check the leech of the main - is it twisted much? If so, tighten the leech with mainsheet or vang until the leech tell-tales are flowing most of the time but occasionally tucked around. Perhaps also get some traveller up as well.
Also check that the sheeting position of the jib is not too far aft, twisting the headsails excessively.

IS the boat a swing keel ?
If so check the keel is down correctly
looks like some good ideas have been suggested already
running out of ideas of why myself
