My boat is left handed!

[Gixer]

I just been working out the positioning of some more control lines, its just struck me that over the years I've naturally routed lines down the port side. I've done this without any conscious effort and being left handed, my set up feels natural to me.
Do you think I've affected resale value in having a left handed boat?

I'm quite adept at sailing backwards, so it might suit me?

There is a famous phrase “left hand down a bit”…..Radio comedy?

Nah you’ve smartly delegated all the rope pulling to the sinister side.

And leaving the right hand free for important stuff like er holding a beverage securely or scrolling the menus of the electronic navigation wotsits..

While there is no such thing as a left handed anchor....you can get a chain rode of left handed links

Is that left handed looking towards the front bit or looking to the back?

Bloody left-handers. They’re the ones who think they’ve got stand-on rights on port tack.

The left side is governed by the Starboardhand brain half…..meanttobemoreartistic/intuitive…or is it the other way
