What are the symptoms of an uncentered mast? I have noticed that I
regularly see slower speeds on one tack (I need to pay more attention to
confirm which tack) even after trying to tune the sails well, and under
regular wind/current conditions. I don't have a knot meter, and only use
Navionics for
I had the same problem last year. Obviously tide and current can affect that,
but one thing I discovered on my boat is the asymmetry of the genoa tracks. My
genoa is very sensitive to car position/angle of genoa lead. We used to use
the screw heads showing on the track to set the two cars and
You usually get a slower speed on one tack due to wave direction. One tack is
always favored as you usually have the waves more head on.
I use the Selden mast tuning method as it can be done on any boat without
special tools. You just need a metric ruler to adjust the shroud tension.

If the mast tip is off center with no tension on the standing rigging then
there is problem with the partners (the place where it penetrates the deck)
or a problem with the foot. The extruded piece of aluminum we call the
mast should stand nearly perfectly straight and centered with no outside

I am following this thread with great interest. I measured distances using the
main halyard and believe my mast is plumb. The partners and foot hold the mast
centred as far as I can tell and as long as the boat, keel and rudder are
symmetrical. I continue to point higher and get better performan
I might be stating the obvious, but the boats are not completely symmetrical.
They are, after all, made by hand by humans and they all have various
imperfections. So the shape might be a bit different on stb or port; the boat
might be listing in one direction; the keel and rudder might not be 10
Surely the shrouds are always the same length, so you can see the turnbuckles
to make sure the two sides are similar.
For many years I was told our boats leaned to one side or the other, and that I
should plan on getting them to lean to starboard (the favored tack in the
Bermuda Race) . . . but
Or, you could have a Monday morning boat like mine. When I was trying to center
the mast, I discovered the chainplate on the starboard side was an inch closer
to the rail than the port one.

I too am following this thread with interest.
My 33 mkii leans slightly to starboard and is faster on starboard tack.
Was always a source of mild anxiety.
I was very careful with my mast tuning, so i felt i had eliminated that as
the cause. My water tank and ice box (always full of beer) are on

If you have a twing for your chute you can also try that instead of a
snatch block. With a snatch block we use the lazy sheet to run through the
block and then switch sheets.

Hey,
Generally, the whisker pole is used if you are sailing downwind and the
barber hauler if you are reaching.
On my boat, if I am doing a windward / leeward race, we will have genoa and
mainsail in tight for upwind work. Once we round the mark and head downwind
we will run wing and wing with th
We use the spinnaker twing also. Opens up the slot nicely.

Thanks for this description of a barber hauler - I will give this a try, as

Yeah, what Rob says. Lots of factors can make a boat faster on one tack
than the other.
I've never even come close to assuming Touche' was square, symmetrical or
otherwise perfect. Our boats are imperfect, particularly the older
models.

First, if you are racing, having the whisker pole on the same side as the
boom may be prohibited in certain jurisdictions.
Barber hauling is a complicated configuration. Basically, you are setting
a triangle using two sheets to change location of the clew of the genoa.
