It occurred to me while watching a medieval movie on Netflix showing a bombardment by Trebuchet's that we don't catapult at all, we Trebuchet!!!

I call it a half forward loop.

Non-sailors think it sounds hardcore.

That's one of the advantages of longer harness lines. Better catapults, er, trebuchets.

Sounds like you needed one of these for Christmas! Best game of the 80's ;)

remember that crash from last year, we had to send a boat out to get her, she was in a lot of pain.

That's racing for you... as she didn't need to go so downwind, there was no way she could catch up with the leader (Dephine Cousin I seem to recall) but she still gave it a go !!!
She's just in her own league !!

Well I certainly catapult!!!

It's like this thread is just teasing me to finally stop stalking and just post something (anything).

POP!!! Hello all, a really great community here.

p.s yes, the name is based on my most perfectly executable windsurfing move!
