LOL Captain John, my skippers never make foredeck work easier when we racing all they want is for it to be done faster. Can't see them easing up on this behaviour any time soon but hey they pay the bills when stuff gets broken so who am I to argue. :). Good tip for cruising or if really light handed in extreme "survival" conditions when racing.
