Sling shot?

Haven't tried that, but have tried throwing - they're hard to catch and can
land in the water. Better to sail close-quarters and hand them over. (Note
to Neal: sailing within half a mile of another boat isn't all that scary
once you've done it. The trick is to follow the primary rule: don't hit the
other boats.)

Maybe a little bag in the middle of a throwing line... ...several could be
transferred at once...

What rule # is that one, Wally?

Does it supersede # 13?

It was my MO in my first dinghy race. Unlike Neal, I considered half a metre
to be a reasonable margin...

Dinghy racing - half a meter? Sounds to me like
you were just begging someone to go in there..

All you have to do is pass them, then drop the beer in the water. They can
snag it when they get to it.
