That's a good example of when you shouldn't post!
When Gary mentioned the "abuse" a few posts back, I'm afraid it brought up a lot of bad stuff for me and I quickly responded with some comments that led this thread down completely the wrong track. It would have been better if I'd just kept quiet.
Sorry about that everyone.
I too am very much looking forward to sailing cat rigged without spinnaker at the Sauna Sail this year!
