What tack is he on?

Is this one of @Brian D ’s puzzles?
-or-
Is the spinnaker on the wrong tack?
Honestly I can’t tell. It looks to me like the clew is on the wrong side of the forestay. What say y’all?
And the lazy sheet is hanging down on this sideI think it is an illusion. Follow the spin sheet it appears to go on the port side of the mast which would be proper. The shadow on the Asym makes it look suspicious.
I didn’t notice that. I pay $15 a year for BoatUS membership. The magazine is included.The magazine costs $5.95?
So true, My Friend. So true.It might also be that our friend Kermie is looking at the image after a nip of the nog on this winter evening. Tired of flexing his shoulder and yearning to feel the breeze brace his cheek as he an the boat become one.
I disagree with that one. They would need a pole to keep the clew out. I’m going with illusion. I can see it correctly at times.And the lazy sheet is hanging down on this side
Best. Answer. Yet.The thing most wrong with that picture is that we are NOT in it!
It’s like the cell towers that are supposed to look like trees. They fail miserably.I can't believe how ugly that cabin profile is. J boats are usually so sleek and beautiful. J501 huh? Not for me.

I don't think they put those in around here. They just go ahead and let you look at a cell tower. The problem for me is, everytime I see a tall pine tree standing out above the other trees, I think, 'another ugly cell tower trying to look like a tree', instead of, 'what a unique looking and very tall tree.'It’s like the cell towers that are supposed to look like trees. They fail miserably.
That is it. It was hard for me to see until you pointed this out. I thought it was on a port tack and then it was clearly wrong.Easy! The yacht is running wing and wing to the left. The asymmetric is to port, and the main to starboard.
