OK....I guess it's time to fess up and add my dumb question, since I've
been quiet for awhile and just enjoying all the posts. Even though I've
been sailing for a number of years, it's been all on small daysailors with
a minimum of equipment. Along with being self-taught, here's my question:
What is an outhaul and what is it's purpose and how is it used?
Same question for the downhaul.
Opps! That's 2 questions! And I sometimes wonder how I manage to get
anywhere on my boat, knowing as little as I seem to know.
At any rate, thanks in advance for your answers and putting up with what
may qualify as a Top Ten Dumb Question for 1999.
