We came across this old sailors shanty "Haul on the Bowline" sung by the sailors to trim in the bowline. The crew would pull on the word "Haul" to get the work done!
Think about singing to your Melges 32 crew when they're trimming on a windy day!
Haul on the bowlin', the fore and maintop bowlin',
Haul on the bowlin', the bowlin' haul!
Haul on the bowlin', the packet is a-rollin',
Haul on the bowlin', the bowlin' haul!
Haul on the bowlin', the skipper he's a-growlin',
Haul on the bowlin', the bowlin' haul!
Haul on the bowlin', to London we are goin',
Haul on the bowlin', the bowlin' haul!
Haul on the bowlin', the good ship is a-bowlin',
Haul on the bowlin', the bowlin' haul!
Haul on the bowlin', the main-topgallant bowlin',
Haul on the bowlin', the bowlin' haul!
