And if not, think how much fun it would be climbing aloft to your new yardarms. Biggest disadvantage in modern rigs IMHO, you can't swing mutineers & pirates from the yardarm. Swinging them from a carbon fiber spinnaker pole just ain't the same. DSK |

I had my hands full and couldn't get a pic. SBV |
