[Rhodes22-list] Loose-Footed Close-Hauling

[KUHN, LELAND]

Elle,
 
Sorry--I meant to say littler, which probably isn't a word either, but should be.  Here are some others:

Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly. 

Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid. 

Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high. 

Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it. 

Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late. 

Hipatitis: Terminal coolness. 

Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. 

Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer. 

Glibido: All talk and no action. 

Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly. 

Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

Enjoy!

Lee

Thought this was a good tip regarding close-hauled sailing in light wind:

"On the loose-footed mainsails (in-mast furling) a good rule of thumb is to
ease the outhaul to have a gap between the foot of the main and the boom of
about 18-24 inches at the widest point. This "camber" adjustment of the
"wing" allows more lift to be generated for a given wind speed."

This came from a yacht salesman so the gap might be slightly less on our
boats because we have littlier feet.
