Funny!
Back when I took classes to learn to sail, they always had us practicing strange maneuvers, like sailing without a rudder, or center board, or no boom. They said it would teach us to handle any emergency situations and get good at improvising when a real emergency struck. Along with blow downs, man overboard, capsizing and putting it back upright and sailing on.
This is not one of the maneuvers we tried.
Thanks
Alan

I also had to note the extra blast needed on the nose of the boat to keep the stern up or it would have been shoveling not sailing.
