I'd not seen that before, classic Wellington weather.

I think sums up perfectly why I love them so much. There's nothing quite like a 12 in a breeze.

Skins is certainly going quickly in that L4 (the red one).

Great find.  It doesnt look too different to that today and I think some of those A raters are still sailing.

Im not sure they are roll tacks in the sense we know them today, the boat is rolling as the pressure comes off as the boat goes through the tack, but the roll is not being induced by the crew to maintain momentum through the tack.

So when did roll tacks appear on the scene? Take a look at these SILENT movies, 1926 and 1933. Some look like roll tacks to me.

More here . Note the wash off the plate at 45 secs

Amazing bit of reversing at the start of this.
