The main sail sucks me in. I can't help it. I think it is partly because I don't want to get hooked on the footstraps or any lines and drown. Another insecurity I own.



I have got one unfair advantage though.

I decided to make my boom from a 50 mm x 1.6 mm alu tube and not the 35 m x 2 mm that has since become standard. The larger boom can actually take my weight and I do use it regulary to guide my "descent".

The same tap with the foot would see the 35x2 mm boom end up in a nice fat permanent curve.
