Steve,
An adjustable step would be great. Currently it's set up about 2" from the edge. I think the previous owner did that for the pacific cup race to Hawaii (downwind all the way). I get loads of weather helm and from what I understand, moving the step to 1" will only give me more weather helm. At this point I'm tempted to get a balanced rudder. The trade winds here are fairly heavy, 15-20 kts, usually more on Friday nights.
