(just in case it gets lost in the volume of Chuckes responses)
Here is a pic of me taking another lesson from Blowbooster at his Cape
Cod High-Performance sailing school.

Charlie starts off the lesson by telling students to make sure to bring a
dog along because based on his vast personal experience that's the only
"friend" he has that won't laugh uncontrollably at the fin dragging,
catapulting through sails and getting sold two port-side harness lines.
Do I have enough downhaul in my sail Chuckes?
