My wife was complaining about being rail-down disrupting her nap time, so I reluctantly rolled in some jib, dropped the main a bit, and picked up ½ a knot. I got to hear “I told you so”.

Ok maybe I should drop the traveler.. but that aside I’m wondering if the drain hoses should be crossed to the opposite seacock. That would eliminate this but assuming my hose orientation is original there may have been a reason not too. Second part is I’m considering adding a port and starboard deck drain. Would need to be small diameter flange. Has anyone done this? Where do you drain to? I’m doing the wick trick which works great but I find it unsightly and it causes growth and interferes with cleaning yada yada… Anyway I’ll probably change nothing but I’m out of the water looking for more work to do.. maybe I should stop before making things worse!
