Tad,

A good explanation of rudder action but I'm afraid wasted on the target

I'm not sure Nutsy has a full understanding of rudder use as applied to
a sailing vessel. He has a steering mentality of driving a car. I'm
afraid he started learning somewhere in the middle of the learning
curve. He still needs to be educated both up and down. Helming is a art
that inexperienced sailor my never truly learn.

Did you read Donal's post??? Bwahahaha! There's more to the helm than just
steering, dopey!
A sailboats helm works ICW the sails.

The best part is that I'm repeating what you all wrote some time ago, except
now you're afraid to direct it at silly Donal!!!

Bwahahahahaha!

And after that, we can steer up wind under bare poles.

And now that you bring that up, there was a mention of that capability by
Dennis Connor on ESPN 2 a few weeks ago.

Truly perceptive.
