Interesting point John. I see what you are looking for but I would have thought that wind direction and current strength would have varying effects making it difficult to locate an exact point for all conditions.Mike On Wednesday, 11 April 2018, 8:43, "John Kinsella John.Kinsella@... [AlbinVega]"

I use a turning block a metre or two forward of the cockpit winch to
take a "mooring spring" back to the winch for solo docking.
I've found a reasonably OK location by trial & error.
Is there an agreed location for the balance point - i.e. if boat secured
to shore from that point then it will steer to port and stbd as if it
was under way with engine in forward gear?
Thanks,
