all the rage
now? Did something change with sail/mast design?
I think that whole thing started because Ashby did it once.
That's usually all it takes!

We capsized the F18 to work on the spin halyard between races once, kinda sucked but it beat missing a race to return to the beach.
Changing the spreader rake was easier than trying to adjust indivual wires for port and starboard to get them to balance. I've watched mischa go up his mast between races to move his wires On the f18. There is definitely something to it but it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish.
I'll bet he does stuff like that once in a while just to F with you guys....
Look, he painted his daggarboards pink. It must be faster
and then there's a run on pink gelcoat the next week...
For someone who can make a 4x8 piece of plywood somehow sail fast, it must be fun to make the occasional poke at us luddites...
