Bowsprit length vs. exact centerline?
I'm installing a Seldén bow sprit and have to choose the length to cut it (or not cut at all).

I'm wondering how important it is that the tack is exactly in the center line of the boat or if 5 to 10 cm (2-4") off center (32' boat) would be noticeable or a problem when sailing. If it's not a big deal I could make the bow sprit longer, which I would see as an advantage.

What I'm talking about is well within the load limits of the manufacturer, so no stability problem.

What do you think?
