Surprise!'s Mizzen Poll

[BobJ]

Sailing gurus say that Surprise!'s mizzen is pretty useless. Upwind it lives in the bad air from the main, especially when the traveler is pulled up a bit, and when it's full it's only adding to the weather helm. There are non-racing benefits, the major one being that it adds to the boat's coolness.

But a couple friends have suggested I pull it out and put lawn chairs back there. (For this poll we'll assume that option is figurative.)

Here's your chance to weigh in on the decision.
