Where have you been?

I received a few questions about spinnakers so here is the definition from www.dictionary.com:

"a large, usually triangular sail carried by a yacht as a headsail when running before the wind or when the wind is abaft the beam"

Its the large sail towards the front of the boat, here white with blue and red, that is only occasionally used. It takes quite some skill to hoist and retrieve and we actually practiced a few times before we used ours in a race.
