10. Hmmmmm, time to examine this rig


This sail plan has things going for it … and against it … the binding of the two yards is good for strength, poor for upwind efficiency, good for lowering the CofEff, therefore better righting moment, can’t be reefed well, though can be furled and dropped. Triangles are the least good for overall sail area. Quite a strong rig though. It lacks twist at the top of the yard, useful for gusts. I’d still go for the standing lug.

    JH: You were first here, Andy, Sadbutmadlad on X. The prize is to retweet and like the winners’ tweets until the weekend.

  2. 6. Showed this to my 9 year old Grandson, who asked,

    Couldn’t answer that, I’ m afraid.

    ……

    JH: Stinks a bit, that answer. 🙂

  3. 9. My heart bleeds – her record as German defense minister (2014-2019) speaks for itself:

    “The Bundeswehr’s condition is catastrophic,” Rupert Scholz, who served as defense minister under Helmut Kohl, wrote last week before von der Leyen was nominated to the EU’s top post. “The entire defense capability of the Federal Republic is suffering, which is totally irresponsible.”
