Doug,
Operative words..."only with a wind blowing"...it is most likely the rig
singing to you.... so how do you stop it....it did on my boat when I was
on a mooring...first I changed the rig tuning (shroud tension loosened
off a little)....worked for a while but not completely....reset shroud
tension and then took ordinary white tape and wrapped it around my 4
shrouds (6 to 8 wraps per shroud) approx. 8' feet from the deck...silence.
Probably not a UFO causing your rig singing...now you have to figure out
how to stop the rig from resonating in the wind?

For the past couple of months I have had a harmonic noise that sounds
like a UFO. It appears to be coming from the mast, but only with a
wind blowing, light or otherwise.
Being moored across the bay from Puget Sound Naval Shipyard first few
times I heard it, had me looking outside for UFOs. I don't think its
wind in the rigging.
It just started this year when I got back from my 5 month road trip to
Florida.
Is Rebecca Leah punishing me for being gone so long?
