no lazy people buy a single wire boat so the crew does all the "ballast" work and the helm lays back in his/her armchair at the back and occasionally when they feel energetic they call for a tack!! |

Is that how it's supposed to work on a single wire boat? I'll have to sort out my crewing arrangements |

My personal favourite is the classic, "sailors like it rough and hard, so when it swells ride it" or "hold on to the sheets and get ready for a wet and wild ride" |

from uni team racing days I believe that all Top Gun antics should be banned for a start "Slam on the brakes and he'll fly right" by never works, they just overtake you and trying to buzz the committee in a firefly doesn't really work the same as it does in the film, no matter how far back in the boat you sit fireflys don't plane! |

Hmm, when I was team racing 'hit the brakes and he'll fly right by' was used at the gybe mark to try to catch the guy behind out so he'd touch your transom. As the 'overtaking' boat he'd take a penalty. I wouldn't advise this in fighter jets, might be a bit more expensive than gelcoat repairs to the stem of a 28 year old lark! I've remembered another Cherub saying: Helm to Crew when getting onto wire after the hoist "Take the helm Chewy and I'll make the jump to light speed" (If I've got the exact phrase wrong I feel sure some Star-Wars anorak will correct me...) |

We say "BEANS!" when a big hike is needed, and "UNLEASH THE FURY!" when a really big and sustained hike is needed!
