Just last week I had the main cleat jam open ( just needed a bit of lubrication ) simply put a loop in a half hitch as I came around the top mark. It took all of about 10 seconds extra. At the bottom mark I simply let out the travellor, snuffed the spinny away, pulled the main and the loop came out,up with the travellor and back to norm where I don't cleat the main on the upward leg. Worked well and little time lost.

Anyway its not about Greg and in some ways I am sorry I used that as an example, but what people honestly think about the racing advantages of uni v sloop.

If there are appreciable advantages then how do we rectify that or do we just admit defeat and let the solo boats form their own group and sail under their own rules.
