if you crew a Star - the hiking pants really only need to be hiking socks - below the knees only!

he should be footing off to avoid waves like that because they can dramatically reduce your boat speed, |

Stuart, footing off in a star does not work, firstly because, unlike a skiff a keel boat on a fetch goes no faster than on a beat (does not plane), it just heels more and introduces more weather helm (slow from rudder drag and also worse VMG). secondly the hull is designed to cut through waves when heeled (hard chine all the way forward to the bow and high on the stem)

Yep the video clip is of me Laser sailing, it is funny but the camera always makes it seem less breezy than it is. Footage was taken on the Isle of Wight in 35 knots plus, as recorded by the met buoy, they cancelled my ferry back to the main land because it was so windy

Look closely - the crew has a lovely harness on so he is basically hanging back in an armchair ride...sounds more comfortable to me that laser sailing... |

He's already footing quite low according to his sheet position. How does the line-up of Cubes in your trophy cabinet compare to his? If you are not faster, how can you know so much more than Jon does? |
