Paper charts are for Wannabees

Katy, you have to stop throwing those winch handles around when you get upset. Yeah, I know....but I haven't ever let one go OB... Actually I did let my first winch go overboard this last weekend. It wasn't secured properly of course, it just felt like it was since it had a really snug fit. That wouldn't have mattered on the ST winches I'm used to working with. On these non ST winches the handle started spinning around like a propeller when we tacked and I started sheeting in on the Genny. It just kinda took off like a helicopter  -- Perre You have to be smarter than a robot to reply. |
