Where did I say that?
But the answer would be No, not that I recall.


Well Doug raised the term cross cut and I wondered if he was confused
(giving him the benifit of the doubt you see) and really talking about
radial heads. Cross cut spinnakers largely disappeared years ago but

Yep, I know what tey look like.
Just can't recall ever seeing not using one except maybe waaaaaay back
in '60/61 in Manly Juniors. They may still use x cut spinnakers which
also double as handkerchiefs.


Well your experience tallies with mine but that's not Doug's opinion and
he's getting quite stroppy about it.
