All of this sailing talk has got me thinking. I have heard of rumours of people using a golf umbrella as a downwind sail - spinnaker style. Has anybody ever tried this? It sounds simple and inexpensive. I noticed that West Marine even makes a stainless reinforced umbrella (to be clamped on a boat's stern rail) that may serve... Any thoughts?
