Or the keel is crooked and really far off the centerline ;) ... just joking, that's not likely. It would have been VERY noticable to the eye when the boat was hauled.
Are you sure you're not being set or lifted by the current on one tack more than the other? Seriously, the first thing to do is check your "instruments". What are you using to indicate how high you are pointing? I wouldn't expect to see a drastic difference from one tack to the other if the mast is slightly off from vertical. If it were grossly off vertical, you might see a difference.... on my boat the keel is slightly off vertical, maybe 1 or 2 degrees, which is enough to see when she's hauled out. It doesn't make squat worth of difference from one tack to another. Most Catalina's list more to one side than the other anyway...
