Since Willy's hull is anything but slab sided we do to. Always in the bow and at times aft. I use the ball for initial contact w the float fwd when making my angled approach. More angle latitude. And since Willy's so curved I always tie her bow out and stern in to make it much easier to board aft. But Willy's slab sided compared to some sailboats trying to minimize their PC/angle of entry. Some are extremely diamond shaped.
