Spent 4 hours trying for better faster forsail option but back to square one except lost spare halyard up the mast. Tired.
(translation for land-lubbers: he tried to get a large front sail made for speed in a good position, but he lost the tail of the extra line that pulls the sails up -- it slipped away and ran up out of reach (unless he gets out his climbing rigging. He is using an improvement over what is usual on boats by drawing from tree and rock climbers - Katja)
