Has it ever occurred to you that some of us just aren't that anal
about sail trim?



Yes. And the same are not true sailors. True sailors are always looking
at their sails and thinking...

Don't give up, Scotty!

Maybe you can learn how to trim your sails next season.

True sailors rarely turn loose of the mainsheet.

I often think Ole Thom would be so jealous looking up at
a proper, shelf-footed main that is new, crisp and drawing
like a team of Clydesdales.
