Winter 2017 "Mainsheet Cover"

[Ken Heyman]

Regarding the current Mainsheet Cover:
It seems as if there is a line hanging from the port bow.Its tough to win the race with the anchor deployed.
Any thoughts? My guess is that it may be an illusion and it's in fact a marker. It does seem to be disturbing the water, however.

Looks like the dinghy's painter. Probably slipped off of the foredeck. Definitely not the fastest way to sail.
