Re: Switch to wing sail on a small cutter?

Not trying to pick a fight but...
When the poop hits the prop, will there be enough time to deploy a nesting dinghy?

I guess that really depends on the seriousness of the "poop". :P
It's good to try think of every eventuality. If this guy has already thought of what he would do in an emergency, it is likely that he would be more able to react quickly on his plan when/if one occurs.
