Hey Lou....a very good point. I almost always secure the boom on one side. Could be the problem right there. Thanks.

I previously owned an Intrepid 27 and it was a real dancer. There was one night that me and my buddies spent at anchor in about 25 to 30 knott winds and it didn't occur to me until later that the boom had been hauled to one side so we would have room in the cockpit. Although the boat was prone to dancing at anchor I believe this had a great impact that knight. It is nice to get the boom out of the way when anchored, however in the future I would check that it isn't causing the boat to dance or tug...
