Re: Spinaker

[Paul Halenbeck <phalenbeck@xxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe when I posted--read about it---bring someone
with a clue along at first---add--and have lots of
open water.  When I was on Lake Vermillion in No. Mn
the spinnaker was not much used--something about
islands and rocks.  But the Gulf of Mx--Keep trying
and stearing will inprove too--at least it did on my
old Balboa, and my older Westerly-It is a fun and
challanging sail, and you Will get better.  Paul
