    One of my biggest takeaways was that there are plenty of sailors still using hank-on jibs, roller-furling mains, and enjoying sailing on all sizes of boats. If there’s anything you particularly liked in the class, please let me know. If there’s anything you disagreed with – please let me know, with a different method to consider.

    If you have any techniques you have used – please share.

    For example; sometimes we bring coolers down the dock, then empty the drinks into a canvas bag to halve the weight, then re-unite the drinks with the cooler and ice once on board.
