if you find a lot of weather helm, try bending the rig more (tighter backstay/ tighter IFS and forward lowers) or raking the mast aft more (longer forestay).
IF the boat doesnt point well try tighter backstay (forestay) but about a foot of forestay sag is acceptable for the usual cruising headsails, less is better there though...depending on sail cut.
