All 4 batters are full and adjustable. I am certainly going to have to play more with boom position. I have rarely put the boom right on centerline as it just hasn’t felt fast, but I will do some actual comparative measurements. Probably comes from my dinghy experience where it is never on centerline. Usually I have it a few inches (2-6”) off center at the rear in everything but heavy air. Dave
