However it's amazing how much quicker she goes when you lose some lard out the front of the boat...proper planing in a F2!!

Iain, good on you. Is it the angle of view playing a trick on me or do you actually have a small jib on that photo. It looks like you have something that did not go all the way up on the forestay. Just asking to educate myself. Thanks

It's the normal jib by the looks of it, just the top has twisted off as it's been eased and you can't see it.
Needs to sail more...

Yep, normal jib, just eased a bit far. Tricky to pull in, kinda had my hands full...

That is actuall a good way to teach new Musto sailors the ropes. As quick as possible, the experienced guy should be the one inside the boat. It seems a bit heavy in the back too. Nice shot though.
Live large, love life, and sail fast.
