Thanks to all readers who answered last week’s Mindbender. The winner this week is Claire Foudey, Rockport, ME who correctly answered last week’s question on where you would find a truck on a sailboat. She emailed: “You don’t find a lot of trucks on boats. But there is one at the top of old wooden masts. It’s a round or oval cap to a mast’s top spar with holes in its edges for flag halyards. When it’s time to hoist colors, the lanyard will run through the truck. Whoo knew?.”
