    Ahh... my perfect maneuver... Well, it was many years ago. New boat. All that. The wind was blowing off my port beam. As a newbie, I was sure I would have to back out of the slip fast, slam...

    On a gennaker without a dousing bag I like the snap shackle spliced onto the tackline and the hank for the forestay attached to the spliced loop. The snap shackle then allows you to blow the tack...

    It would be interesting to know how much the ever-increasing electrical mechanization we're seeing on modern boats has contributed to an uptick in injuries... My guess is that is could be...

    Kelly, one more note. You might want to check out this video. Apparently the lever lets you adjust the amount of soap that gets used. EZ Jet Water Cannon with 8 Built-In Spray Patterns - YouTube
