And scary boats to sail in a breeze. Once we showed up at the Squaddy with our modern 18, only for racing to be canceled due to 35 knot winds. The Histericals went out and we jumped on one. 2 sail reached across the harbour and back, landing on the beach at the Zoo and having to be towed home.

Had to be carefull not to heel the boat too much as the long boom quickly drags in the water resulting in swims.

It also worried me how you had to untie the leeward side stay so the boom will go out futher, only to have tie it and untie the other quickly in the gybes <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
