[C320-list] Neutral or Reverse

[Arthur Gates]

Here is one other input:  racing today and close hauled with 13 kts of
wind, I had forgotten to put the tranny in reverse (as is my custom) for a
few hundred yards off the start, so I did a one-off test and saw the speed
jump almost at once from 5.2kts to 5.6kts when I went from neutral to
reverse!?!
