I guess having the track so close in means the genoa twists unless wind is beam on or below. I have this problem too, on my Ocean spirit 34, which has the identical rig to Romany. This setup also means any amount of bagging in the genoa will impact performance.

we were not actually going to windward but were on a close reach, so the preventer helped reduce leech twist Thank you for your interest Richard Woods

wondering why a preventer (thats holds the genoa sheat to port) is needed when pointing?
