Tiller bar length...

Think it might be about time to address this issue...
When sailing upwind I normally end up pumping the helm to get the boat to hold a straight course. Looking back at a video of me sailing, I have noticed my leeward rudder is never straight. when the windward rudder is straight the leeward is always steering the boat into the wind, I think this could be because my tiller bar might be too long... Would anyone be able to measure their's and let me know?
