I particularly enjoy the part where you stand on the lee coaming and
try to wrestle the reefing line through the leach cringle while the
sail flogs. This should be an Olympic (or at least a pay-per-view)
event.

For bonus points, do it while steering with your foot and shouting
directions to the crew as to where the lifejackets are stowed.

How much fun *is* a sack of hammers, anyway?
