Excuse me guys but I have a little bit difficulty with my English, so what do you mean by weather helm and lee helm. Thank you

Andre:
Wikipedia says... "Weather helm is the tendency of sailing vessels to turn towards the source of wind, creating an unbalanced helm that requires pulling the tiller to windward (i.e. 'to weather') in order to counteract the effect.

Weather helm is the opposite of lee helm. It is generally less troublesome than lee helm."
