Doug,

Thanks for the follow up info.  I enjoy reading how C&C mysteries are solved.

On Calypso, to prevent the boom from swinging like a late 40’s Bebop band I 
have pulled the traveler hard over to one side then used a light line to hold 
some tension from the other.

Also when at anchor with a side wind I used the foreguy attached to the 
spinnaker pole track and applied some pressure forward to prevent “UFO” type 
pumping of the mast.

Subject: Stus-List UFO noise update

I just wanted to give an update on my UFO noise. It turned out to be my boom 
lift. I had it tight to slow down boom swing. Now the boom swings, but no UFO's.
