It doesn't really matter since I have no idea how to teach it anyway.

They just pay me outragously to chit-chat with the students.

Oh, I think I forgot to mention:

If any boat lovers in the Shanghai area see this, or if you're coming to Shanghai sometime, drop me a line!

Westlawn,

I never heard the expression "goose span" either, but it makes perfect sense when you explain it. In America we call sailing downwind with one sail set far out to port and one to starboard, "sailing wing and wing". Slight difference in words, same idea.

In Australia we call it "goose winged or goose winging".
