It occurred to me while watching a medieval movie on Netflix showing a bombardment by Trebuchet's that we don't catapult at all, we Trebuchet!!!

I call it a half forward loop.

Non-sailors think it sounds hardcore.

That's one of the advantages of longer harness lines. Better catapults, er, trebuchets.

remember that crash from last year, we had to send a boat out to get her, she was in a lot of pain.

That's racing for you... as she didn't need to go so downwind, there was no way she could catch up with the leader (Dephine Cousin I seem to recall) but she still gave it a go !!!
She's just in her own league !!

Well I certainly catapult!!!

It's like this thread is just teasing me to finally stop stalking and just post something (anything).

POP!!! Hello all, a really great community here.

p.s yes, the name is based on my most perfectly executable windsurfing move!
