BrentAllen 10 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Gern, We used to bareboat over to the Bahamas during college Spring Break - but we weren't racing. Did you watch any of the America's Cup? I think it was race 5, where the Kiwis had the lead and tried to run up another spinnaker before a tear in the one flying blew apart. I think someone missed a bowline on a sheet, and the spinnaker turned into a pennant, flying from the top of the mast. I imagine there was a little shouting then. :-) Link to post Share on other sites
SSScout 1616 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I always teach the Four Laws of Motion... 1) Action/Reaction 2) At rest/Stay at rest; in motion/Stay in motion (unless acted upon) 3) Acceleration proportional to force applied 4) You can't push a rope....

le Voyageur 72 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Never counted how many. In climbing and canoeing it's more important in knowing how to build anchor and pully systems with a basic set of knots to get the job done. Link to post Share on other sites
