Seamanship Question #42
I don't particularly like preventers, of the times I have seen other use them about half came to grief one way or another. I did accidentally gybe a boat myself in hard going, when dodging a bit of debris in the water that loomed up in the glow of the running lights... managed to dodge the obstacle (it looked like a large metal fishing mast, suggestive of a sunken boat right there) and when gawking aft at it after we passed it, gybed the boat. No damage, just slightly embarassing... if we'd hit that mast (or whatever it was) we'd have gone down like a rock... certainly one of the closest calls I've ever had while sailing, so I don't feel too bad about the gybe afterward *  Fresh Breezes- Doug King Where was this? |
