is quite clearly planing, and quite clearly going very fast. How hard you have
to trim, is dependent on the apparent wind, so faster you go, tighter it gets.

 Yep, absolutely right there!
Pass the skiff, man!

If you can't carry it, don't sail it!

Although I was not there I can definately confirm when a 300 is sailing like that it is bloody windy and gusty and posibly one of the worst points of sailing you can do on the boat, although if you make it around the mark without a capsize you will have a great smile on your face.
