Mark's suggestion above seems like a likely culprit if yours has a similar set up. If you're noticing it mostly in heavier wind, I assume that also means it's worse when you heel more with your port side to leeward. I'd be suspicious of any thru-hull on the port side. Think of anything that's...

Hey Skye, We're also in Bham- let us know if you need a hand (or just want to sail!). We're usually down at Squalicum gate 8 a few times a week. Happens when motoring and worse in rough seas- is it noticeably worse in following seas? Might be a clue where to start looking. I assume the E23-2...
