Of course, you could always engage Iron Mike and let him apply massive amounts of corrective helm. Tmac is justly proud of the phenomenal SHP achieved by his machinery , so Full Ahead on one should still give us our 25 knot cruising speed, but only with the helm hard over.
Pray tell, what is a "hard-over"???????

Kind of like the difference between a light sleeper and a hard sleeper?? --- a light sleeper sleeps with a light on and a hard sleeper will sleep through anything!!
