Default rigging tune question

While sailing my sisters Monark 14' sailing dingy, with dagger boards, we
noticed that it will point higher on port tack, about 45 deg, than strbd
tack, about 60/65 deg.
What should we be looking at to correct this, if possible?

Check these...
Is your mast equally aligned port/starboard?
Are the jib tracks in the same position either side?
Is the main traveller in the same position either side?
Are the rudder and centreboard blades straight?
Is the Hull straight?
Are you putting Metal/electronic objects next to the compass?
Are you confusing wave patterns with wind patterns?

That should keep you busy for a while.

First, is she (the boat, not your sister) sloop rigged or cat rigged?
