...auxiliary sheet as the port tailer releases the jib sheet. The port tailer is then free to take in the spinnaker sheet while the other tailer takes in the after guy. Then the two grinders below turn the winches that hold the sheet and guy, and the tailers trim the sheets...

He is currently chairman of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority and chairman of a group erecting a new cultural center. The Rich Foundation, which he supervises, has so far spent $1,500,000 on good works around Georgia. "We hope," he says simply, "that Rich...
