[Rhodes22-list] Loose-Footed Close-Hauling

[KUHN, LELAND]

Elle,
 
Their first album was named after their band.  The song you're thinking of is off of their second album, Littler Feet.
 
Lowell George met Bill Payne when George was a member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. Payne had auditioned for the Mothers, but had not joined. They formed Little Feat along with former Mothers' bassist Roy Estrada and drummer Richie Hayward from George's previous band, the Factory. The name of the band came from a comment made by Mothers' drummer Jimmy Carl Black about Lowell's "little feet." The spelling of "feat" was an homage to The Beatles.

Elle,
What is the translation (Dictionary type) for "littlier feet"?

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.
