I fly with the string pointing slightly out of the turn. I do this because the glider seems to balance nicely that way and require less control input. I don't think the glider climbs any more slowly because of this. SFAIK, the original theory and article was written by Holighaus K. www.wisoar.org/Documents/Holighaus - Thermalling Efficiency.pdf However, I only would use that as a justification for thermalling with the yaw string not centred :-) In any published photographs, where the yaw string is not central, I'd normally correct so people don't moan.
