3. It's hard to do a death roll without a spinnaker and the reason is
the spin pulls the boat over as long as it's full of air!


Total nonsense. I guess small una rigs like the Laser and Finn are notorious for death
rolling because "it's hard to do without a spinnaker."


Lady Kate will death roll running square. Flying Tadpole II would
deathroll running wing and wing until we worked out how to set
the schooenr rig properly. Windsprints (Lugger) and Martha Janes
(balanced lugger) deathroll on a square run if not set up
properly. No spinnakers on any of them. Mirror dinghies without
spinnaker are great death rollers. So it goes.
