    Hope my “listing” gag didn’t offend. Comes of being a sub-editor in former life. Couldn’t resist.

    Have not even heard of the bendy, tubey things. Have heard the wind in the rigging, when moored on the broads in a yacht mooring. Tended to be punctuated by the tinkling clanking of rigging against masts. Understand that the sound from wind/sails/rigging on big square riggers at sea is something to experience. Sadly something I’ll never experience, even on the special disabled outings. The only thing I could actually handle is the helm and I bet they wouldn’t let me do it. Would love to have done it, especially since I had a great uncle who had actually sailed on square riggers for real in the 19th century.
