Any info on what sails he had up?


Geraldo Rivera said the other night that he was unable to furl his sail(s?)
which caused him to be blown over (presumably beam end, but GR was somewhat
confusing, because, though he himself is a very experienced sailor, he was
trying to dummy it down for the audience.)

Rivera also said that the boat was too big to be single-handed. I largley
agree with that, but would want to know more about automated systems, etc.
Why a ketch for a single-hander, and why one with a bowsprit, of all things!
