	if craig was the guy with the camera in the rib at that overcrowed windward mark and chaotic gybe mark i think i was either telling him very loudly that it wasnt our fault and i nearly middle fingered him at the gybe mark. NEARLY. i had a very bad race and was slightly stressed the last thing i needed was a bloke with a camera filming us and telling us we'd got it wrong.

	but if you have a single wire boat dont you want the taller (heavier) person on the wire to get more leverage?
