Armchair sailing

The magazine Business 2.0 isn't the place you would most obviously go to look for fun stuff about sailing. But, browsing their blogs today, I came across the Waterlog which includes some interesting posts including the latest with a marvellous photo of VC Tom Perkins' Maltese Falcon in all her glory. One question, though: I saw some posts somewhere a few weeks ago asking how well she sails. Look off her port quarter. It looks as though the rudder is well across to port and kicking up a heck of a lot of spray. Is she about to tack or is this a nasty case of lee helm?

My first ever sailing cruising was in Greece. The family and I also had a wonderful holiday there a couple of years ago with a flotilla (great for the kids). I was interested, then, to stumble across the Sailing Issues web site which provides some general sailing information (including a basic navigation course) as well as some really good information on cruising in Greece and Turkey.
