Ok Jon,

If no one else is going to ask the question, I will.

How did the Lazy Sheet get out of its Car, into the water, back on
board, get forward of the mast and get the handle? Aren't your sheets
long enough to stay rigged when they aren't the working jib? Where the
hell were you and what where you doing while this, so called Lazy Sheet
was so busy splashing in the water, working up wind on its own, working
around the mast, hooking the handle and then with the added weight work
up wind again?

Like I said, this happens during classes and very windy days. The sheets
are long enough to get into the water and whip around. They don't need
to "work around the mast." They just need to brush the mast.

And you worry about a handle left in a Halyard Winch----Please!!!! May
I never need tutoring from an instructor like you g

So, you would give so detailed an explanation of everything before it
happens that your students would learn nothing by themselves? I like to get
students to make minor mistakes and use the mistakes as object lessons.
