Spin a Yarn: Today, this expression means to tell a story, much of which may be out of fantasy. The expression originated from the stories sailors would tell while making spun-yarn or doing other repetitious chores. The stories in this thread will help you to better sail your C14 and possibly learn a new trick that could have you rounding the mark a little faster. These articles have been published in the past by Catalina Yachts in their main sheet magazine but are now available on our website for free! These articles will be "stuck" in the forum and will also be linked on the homepage navigation menu. You are encouraged to comment on the articles and offer any further insights you may have. Our first article is about sailing in Heavy Wind and can be found at http://www.capri14.org/forum/spun-yarn-insights-t1691.html?p=5212#post5212

Update: Our next article on capsizing is now available at http://www.capri14.org/forum/spun-yarn-capsizing-t1714.html.
