Hunki. Here on the Chesapeake Bay we call it "burying the rails"...</font>
geo1004, this boat is a Hunter 33.5 named "Serenity" which has such high freeboard that if "we bury the rails", then we have the spreaders in the water, too!
My first boat that I owned when I first met Punki was a Swedish-built lapstrake hull Scandinavian Folkboat http://www.zyworld.com/folkboats/video.htm with such low freeboard that I was able to drag my hand in the water when sitting on the leeward side. I would frequently "bury the rails", the deck and the cockpit combing boards on that boat.
Of course, now that I don't race any longer, I prefer the "more comfortable" aspects of sailing when I have guests on board. However, if the crew wants "to slug it out", I'm usually more than willing.

Joh we can either tie Oz to the mast or the bow pulpit where he can say his prayers.

ldsant, which day do you want? Friday evening during the game, Saturday afternoon, Sunday afternoon?
