Benefits include:
No boat required
No crew required
No club membership required

Sorted!!

I often keep the main in my teeth (when the for'ad hand hasn't got it), and one time, I'm not quite sure how but i suddenly realised i was trapezing by my teeth!

Actually I'm working on a new substance - the stickiest known to man - ENC short for Essence of Nightclub Carpet.

i think the best thing for that is a pice of elastik around your wast and you tuk the end of the main sheet in it so its alwase next to you and if you have a bid acedent as you do time to time it come out so it ont heart

i know alot of the IC sailors do this

and progrip is desind to prvid frishon on your show not you deck so it will not work as it is a diffrent kind of surfice
