Same product that has been offered for years in the aviation business.

I found a comparable product for just five bucks in the children's section
many years ago.

Bart,

Nice Report! Brings back memories of long ago. The Port Jeff hotel use
to make a frozen daiquiri that was better than great.

With the free footed main, you should be able to rig a "Kicking Strap"
ala Jolly O, with a slippery hitch. In light air it is a lot faster that
moving the Vang but that is what those clips are for. Isn't amassing how
tame a boat can feel with the Boom under control?

In my "Comet" days on LIS, I used a coffee can rather than a bucket.
Females seem to be more comfortable with the can than a bucket.

Bart, I had a house in Northville on the Island. I was sure it was the
best sailing ground anywhere. That was before I found Puget Sound

What was he thinking, not
putting up at least a steadying sail.

One who purchases a Mac 26 is probably not overly given to cerebral
processes. Nor would he have a clue as to matters nautical.

That was the first time I used a spinnaker, albeit a flat cut reacher, to
sail
upwind. I wonder if the Etchells class rules allow for something like
this?
Probably not. I'll have to check. For the light wind days on Long Island
Sound
a sail like this could be a rule beater--maybe in PHRF.

Bart
Good story. Don't know about Etchells class rules, they're probably on line
somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if that boat is a giant killer in light
air. Wonder what it's rating is?

I don't know John, but the boat gets a lot of interest because of it's
speed. Last year I passed a sailboat with it's main up and running
it's outboard. After a bit of pointing by their crew, I heard the throttle
open up and they still couldn't keep up.

I also enjoy sailing circles around other sailboats. When I'm feeling
particularly mean, I do it twice to rub it in. : )

I find you particularly mean to women. I agree with everything Katysails
has said about you...

Most women find men they can't manipulate to be mean.

If I gave you everything you wanted, then I wouldn't be mean.

In time, katy, you will come to appreciate my true genius.

LP, on the other hand, has no hope of ever comprehending me.

Damn, Katy. I was using Bart's own words! (look up)

That was Bart Bait, not Katy Bait....(hook and release)
