You never want the boom past center. If you are having trouble getting it *to* center, you are probably using the factory traveler rigging. Take a look at the race-rigged traveler system, it keeps the boom centerlined:

How do I rig the traveler? While beating, I would like to get the boom windward to center of the boat. I don't know how to do this. BTW, I am a novice Laser 2 sailor. If this is a bad idea, please advise.
Thank you,
