Default How far...How high

When you jump from your spreaders, do you use wave action to sling you
clear of your hull, or do you just try to run down your spreader and
dive?

I figure last time I flew off the top spreaders with the right wave I
musta been hurled 50 foot out from 50 foot above the waterline. Did a
double back flip before entering the water.

And have you ever rigged a Bos'n chair to your spinnaker and fly out
ahead of your bow, Thats a blast unless the spinnakers get to flappin
and knock you out of the seat and the boat runs you over.

Bow flying, How high have you flown? You know...time that wave just
perfect and jump up with bow lift assist, it amazing how high you can
fly..use leather gloves and fly up your forward stay if you wish to
remain onboard.

Boom slingin...Have you ever laid on the boom , and have the boat do a
fast jibe? Thats usually a 35 foot sling...or the hardest belly flop
possiable.

Halyard tarzan..Run across the cabin top and swing in a arch over the
water and round your whole vessel, I tried it once but it's difficult
on a ketch.

Any other exclusive sailboat games?
