Or a spondylolisthesis...That is what compression fractures look like.
Thank you.That’s a storm jib.
I swear the YouTube algorithm has been coming up with great Shorts as of late!
It's not a storm jib. It's something odd hoisted on the spinnaker halyard. That boat has a roller furling jib, which is rolled up. A storm jib would be hoisted up the forestay with the jib lanyard, and would be used in heavy winds to keep the stern of the boat into the wind - running downwind. If shit gets really bad, you drop a sea anchor off the font of the boat so the bow stays into the wind.Thank you.
Think they just wanted to take advantage of a good wind but not get where they were going too fast.
Wish I could do that nautical stuff.

They could actually be at anchor and just using that sail to keep them downwind off the anchor in a current.
But they most likely are a short case into the day, and in no hurry.
Just a spinnaker. Crappy photo but you can see the roller furled jib. No mainsail up. Nice slow day.Not at anchor.
Slowly traversing south to north enjoying a fine day.
It was a triangle shaped sail secured point to top of mast and the two lower corners tied off below, either on the roller jib or perhaps to cleats on the deck.
Real light cloth.

Other boats with more sails out were pumping right along.
Watched a vid on YouTube about the last grain racers of the 20s and 30s.Just a spinnaker. Crappy photo but you can see the roller furled jib. No mainsail up. Nice slow day.
I met a guy in Tahiti that had sailed across the pacific from the west coast. We were hanging out on his boat in Tahiti, and he said he spent three days getting back from Morea to Tahiti when his diesel quit on him and there was no wind ( it's about 12 miles). I said weren't you pissed? He said "I didn't have to be anywhere".
I been to Cooter many times. It's about 100 miles from my home.My buddy Don lives in Climax NC
