Tracie,

I've done that more that once with my N6.0na. I used to use an EO snuffer mounted on the end like the I-20's. It's worse when it's out there, sheet going under the lee hull that is. Now I lashed it to the bridle, so it goes in the hoop behind the bow.

I often walk/crawl out on the bow and clear things, etc.]

I can still remember the gurgling, bubling sound of my crew is Rough Riders a few years ago clearing the line from under the leeward bow as he and the whole bow where under water, with me still trapped out driving the boat harder!

Actually the line under the hull, rides to the board, and really causes mega cavitation and disturbs laminer flow there = slow.
