Ah yes Twistedtree that's the part I was missing .. CG. I see that now and that explains why Willy swings a lot even though she has a big long keel, plenty of weight and a bow that's only semi-high. Her CG is unusually far aft. Mystery solved.

A similar boat (Fisher) has a much further fwd CG (judging from her slack cheeks aft) and I'll bet swings much less. Better make a bridal. To be most effective it could tie off or attach to the gunn'l amidships ...... what think?
