Gary,

I have witnessed the "catman" backing his boat in to the beach...standing on the spreaders. I have also seen his "hamburger meat" hands after a quick ride down the forestay.

I was talking to him, and if he can get the nerve up to trust me at the helm, we'd like to get a pic of him on the spreaders (while flying the hull). Could make for an entertaining shot.

Needless to say, since we sail, race and have fun year 'round, we attempt some pretty wild things with the boats. I'll try to dig up this photo of a local sailor (coming back from camping on an island) boat loaded to the max. with gear, under "bare pole" & throwing a rooster tail.
