[Rhodes22-list] new boat position

[Just bent]

That fish was caught off a bass boat that I handed my camera to so I could
get a picture of me sailing single handed. 

I don't raise or lower my tiller to tack, I just leave it up the whole time
I have light air. I would not even begin to know what is common or proper, I
just forgot to lower it & noticed that it was easier to tack, so that's what
I do now, only in light air.

The new tounge wieght is 360 lbs.
