MC,

If you fo to all tht trouble of figuring things out every time you sail, do
you ever get to relax? You should have a hibernate setting on the right
side of your brain.


Well Kook, when you are on a nice reach on a long passage you have
plenty of time to think about how your boat works. This put you in good
stead for emergencies. If, for example, you don't understand the forces
on a rigid vang how would you rig an emergency replacement that will not
break? In any case, the trig is just lioke a Nav exercise...

Geddit? :-)
