 here's mine, full main and spin running dead downwind when a 35 know squall blows through, not one of my smarter moments. Still, it is not a bad attempt at a marine handbrake turn  We even managed to hold onto second on that race

Plus side is water temps are 23c so quite pleasant! IOR boats always fun!

Indeed the clink-clink of hammer on stake at the end of the day is a well-known symbol for bar-opening time
