At the downwind mark the
boat must be turned back upwind for the next leg of the
race. The spinnaker must be
dropped and the headsail hoisted, taking great care to
gather in the kite to prevent it dropping into the sea.
In the water, it not
only becomes a dead weight that slows the boat down, but can
also topple the mast if it is not retrieved or cut
free.
