The wind freshened about 7 hours later and we got home around 2AM, wishing
we'd never pulled that main back out of the mast.

Noone should ever set foot on a sailboat that has to "be somewhere". It
sure ruins it for the rest of us aboard...


One should never use a wind-up mainsail. It's an inferior system.
