[Rhodes22-list] new boat position

[Leland]

Jb,

First of all, great pictures.  Your boat is beautiful and your pictures of
the regatta reminded me that Annapolis isn't the only place to see a bunch
of sailboats.  Catch that fish off of your Rhodes?

I never thought about lifting the rudder to reduce drag on a tack.  Although
it makes sense, I probably won't do it just out of pure laziness.  Is this a
common technique with the racing crowd?
