It's not much difference at best and mostly just a better view of the sail going up so you're alert to snagging a batten under a lift or having the jib flog under the pulpit or such. But being ambidexterous, I've neither an arm nor a leg to back the hypothesis.
It's true that an awful lot of our world is set up to be hard on that sinister minority. Even the language. Perhaps it's overcoming adversity from the start that makes so many lefties such high achievers, able to make a knot at such blinding speed and better suited for coiling a lead line. In third grade penmanship when we were just getting to pens, real ink, no ball points, I envied the lefties since they had a great excuse for making a mess while I was just there to annoy the teacher.
G'luck
