And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
As sailors say, "the tilt and grin", the more you tilt(heel) the MORE you GRIN until you capsize :-)
Whenever two sailboats are on heading the same way a subtle "Race" occurs. Gone is the lazy that's good enough mainsail angle as we tighten up our lines :-)
My little homemade sharpie trailer Sailer costs less than ONE of their sail winches but I love my weekend camping-fishing trips :-)
Too bad about the plastic sails, the old vertically seamed cotton went with these designs, the carbon and mylar not so much. And yes, a simple sharpie is just ass much fun, maybe more.

I can repair anything on a blow boat but I don't sail on one, I'm a smoker you might say. Gas, oil, smoke & loud exhaust is much more fun.
