mast in front of the vane

Paul,
Here is my logic. As it is impossible for me to sail dead into the wind I will never be in a situation where the vane is going to be blocked to the wind as I would always be 15 degrees or more to the wind. Therefore the mast straight forward of the vane makes perfect sense to me. Now if I had it located off to one side or another it has the potential of interfering with the windstream.
