Tino's comment above about the offset backstay may have something to do with it. Our boat came with a hydraulic backstay adjuster and we have found that backstay/headstay tension has a big effect on pointing ability. It was easy to get the boat into the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (nickwigen) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/5074 Fri, 02 Jun 2006 06:16:51 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/5073/t/Starboard-Performance.html#reply-5073 However, I seem to point higher on starboard tack than I do on port.

The backstay is still located in the standard location, and the boat has a slight heaviness on the starboard side due to a generator set. Both of these conditions might favor starboard tack.

There may be some asymmetry in the hull, the keel, the rig, or the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (yorkrose) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/5072 Thu, 01 Jun 2006 18:20:28 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/5071/t/Starboard-Performance.html#reply-5071 Tino Lanza, Dancing Dolphin (#739/3 cabin pullman, Westlake Village, CA) ]]> feeds@yuku.com (tinolanza) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/5071 Thu, 01 Jun 2006 17:42:24 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/5070/t/Starboard-Performance.html#reply-5070

Norm Perron, Hull #600/2 cabin, Aphrodisiac, Marina del Rey, CA ]]> feeds@yuku.com (CaptNorm42) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/5065 Tue, 30 May 2006 20:32:52 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/5064/t/Starboard-Performance.html#reply-5064 Do you mean more speed or higher pointing or less helm, etc? Speed may be influenced by the knot log placement which on our boat is not in the center. On one tack there may be turbulence that would affect the log reading. I know ours certainly reads different on one tack or the other.

Just a thought...
