I had never really heard of it until my friend told me about it. He has
heaps of experience in all weather. Skipper of Condor for several
years, Sydney Hobart, Bermuda Race, and a lot of high latitude sailing
having rounded Cape Horn several times, etc, etc. He is out of town but
next time I see him, I will ask for more details.
