Bill told us this too and it really isn't a problem.
The hard bit is persuading everyone that it isn't because I sleep on that side of the boat!!
Also on the point of balance, I can't always go up the front of the boat to do the anchoring. When we are on Rutland and using the electric outboard, my weight sinks the bow, lifts the stern and stops the motor working so well. This means my wife, who is lighter than me, often does the job!! It's not because I am lazy - though that does come into it as well.
