Jerry, Kat'ynt Seil was correct. The name (don't know in what language) is a sea term (to kat the sail) close to meaning, to reef or lift the sail. If the helmsman needed to have a better veiw the sail (loose footed) could be hauled up at at where you'd normally see the gooseneck (where the boom joins the mast). This could also be a way to reef (shorting sail) or to spill some wind out of the sail. I met them at Mystic last year & we did quite a bit of informal seeing on the decks (a very sweet & nice bunch), they also sing in French, Spanish & I believe Italian. On tape & CD you don't get the energy & joy they get & give their music. They all (4) are very good singers/musicians but as a group they really shine with tight harmonies. My lack in the languages is just terrible, so most of the time I don't even try to overcome my shortcomings, with them it was hard not to join in. Like trying not to sing along with the Watersons just because you're not Brittish. Barry
