Rob, Yes, I certainly remember the rum induced knock down. But remember, I wasn't at the helm of my boat when this happened. It was very thrilling and we still sail this way.

I encourage anyone with an opinion to respond even if it just agrees with someone else. My decision may end up being based on the majority view. By the way Rummy - were you on the Rhodes that had a major knock down (despite the self righting qualities of our boat) when too much sail was out. I remember the post from many years ago. Someone who said they always sail with lots of sail and sitting on the rail - Remember the story? rob -- Robert O. BaldiSee the original archive post
