Hey Nutsy,
If you think you are being Salty about terms, Let's talk "Salty" Every boat has an "Optimiun Heel angle" A good sailor knows what that is; If the Sails are Trim TO RELEASES POWER then it's time to SET NEW SAILS and come up with a NEW ANGLE! IT'S TIME TO STRAIGHTEN UP AND SAIL RIGHT! Take that you Lubber Ole Thom |
