Forgive my ignorance but what do the abbreviations AWB and OP mean?
Liked this one..AWGTHTGTATA... very useful at the first mention of anchors!
Thanks for the input but nobody has told me what op means

You are the OP! Original Poster and I rather think Sandyman said that too!
Everybody's gotta start somewhere!
It's not an abbrevation, maybe not even terminology, but what does "white sails" mean? I believe it means something more than sails that are white colour.

Generally taken to mean non-spinnaker (or other lightweight sail) sailing
Or, alternatively, boats which don't have fancy expensive kevlar etc racing sails.
So you might "go downwind under white sails only", with the first meaning, or with the second meaning organise a race (or class within a race) for "white sails", meaning it's aimed at cruising type boats that want to have a go, not top-flight racers with all the gear.
