Trick with the 300 is to be huddled up against the mast and pray that you don't slip, otherwise you're in.
Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
ingredient in beer.

Unless of course its a baking hot summer day, the sweat is dripping down your T shirt and shorts and you're desperate to get cool...

True, the last race at the MPS Gold Cup in Spain was a real drifter and as each boat crossed the line the helm entered the ogin to  cool of ...  bring on the summer.

in the feva the bow does drive down in gusts upwin if your sat too far forward. but i have sailed with my crew balancing on the bowsprit upwind. nd i was sat by the shrouds. then it gusted, i hit the side deck and the boat just started plowing itself under to about the mast. i dont think waterline length matters until your both sat on side deck 10 odd knots at least.
