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.

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?
