Points? You want points??

OK, I hereby award Scott Vernon 73 Loki-Points.

By the wind was close hauled.

Large on the wind was down wind.

By and Large, means "in all directions", or "in all situations".

Square rigger term for all sails set on the fastest point of sail.
I've also heard it as " full and by"

One of my favorite nautically based expressions is "By and Large," as in
"By and
large, Booby doesn't know how to sail."

Who knows what it really means?

ie "full". If you're pinching at all, it's not full and by.
Accordingly, full & by is not quite the closest on the wind

The rarity of Loki points will make them quite valuable in the future. Keep

dollars.
