I am a first time owner of a monohull. I raced a Hobie Catamaran for 16 years and was taught to be very aware of sailshape. The mainsail on my 1989 Hunter 30 always seems to want to be on the upper spreader unless I position the boom to windward of the centerline. Cat sailing, the boom would normally be centered or to leeward if I wanted to depower. (all this is when sailing upwind) Is positioning to boom to windward standard procedure. I also feel if I could downhaul the main I could get a tighter leech but alas, there is no downhaul adjustment....DougS/V Brenda Gail
