Tad,
Almost all of us would do the same here. In fact, a lot of us would
simply just put more twist to our sails, if we were caught out in it.
Nutsy's just using it as troll bait.
Good to have you back Tad.

Hi Thom. Lady Kate, being a traditional-sail New England design, has an
oversize main intended for the windless conditions of the NE seaboard in
summer! I rarely get to use it without at least one reef in during our
summers. Winter, though, can have very cool, gentle consistent breezes
so it looks more impressive then.
I'm only back temporarily, between deserts. Bit like the antarctic ice
man, but the only ice I see is in fever dreams and mirages.
What about a G&T? Your Subie can carry an Engel refrigerator. That's
probably about its max payload, but still...... bottle of gin, some
tonic and a couple slabs of beer and you're all set for the desert.
