When drafting on the water, is it not better to be close to but off to the 
side so your boat is on the forward face of the other boat's bow wave?

That position is preferred (depending upon wind conditions) when sailing and 
allows a smaller boat to stay with a larger one --particularly beating if you 
can get a safe leeward postion.
