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? Joe |
