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”.

Jacob; agree with all of the other posts...however, do drop that 
traveler...these boats do much better sailed flat (under 10 degrees)....!

‘78 36- With some pretty good heel I get water backing up in the cockpit from 
the low side drain (drains are below water line). 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!
