I think that may be the difference between the pointing ability of my boat as opposed to a Ketch. Other than the addition of the Mizzen aft of the cockpit and rudder, the only difference between it and the sloop version is the E measurement is 2 feet shorter. So, with a 2' shorter boom and the added SA of the Mizzen, there's no real change in pointing ability.
