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.
Considering America has taken water over the rail for three years by a bunch of anarchist power-mongers proves (for now anyway) we’re not heeled-over far enough to sink the boat. Pretty sure those Helly Hansen boys known what they’re doing.
Because you can't let out your mainsail and the rudder is less than responsive because it is sideways too. I always liked the windward rail for this kind of fun.
Ps, sailed dinghies for decades. Especially when it blew full gale or better. I have been out in 75 mph winds.

ReplyDeleteLooks like the sail is in the water, to me that doesn't look good but I know very little about sailing..
ReplyDeleteMaybe the current is running faster than the wind.....
DeleteAny heel more than about 20 degrees means you are wasting air.
ReplyDeleteIf you're dipping your sail, you're doing it wrong!
