Just a small interjection here...

I once saw an on-line video of an instructor sailing a dinghy (that would be
a small racing sailboat) BACKWARDS through a maze (pilings in a row,
zig-zagging between them)...

You can do amazing things if you're one with your ship...


Agreed! There might just be hope for you as a sailor yet, Skippy!

It's a sad state of affairs when confirmed motor heads attempt
to tell those of us who know how to handle our boats under sail
alone that it can't be done or that it's somehow rude, anti-social
or dangerous to do it. Balderdash!
