The jib sheet is at max ease.  Letting more main out (significant main is out already) would only result in to going downwind futher.  They dumped the jib and sheeted the main to try and round it up into the wind, but it was all to late.

But I am sure a rock star like yourself could teach these headless chooks a thing or two.

I love that..

Especially the bit where the headless chicken is running to and fro on the
tramp trying to make his mind up what to do..

Funnest thing to happen to a Cat.

I guess being cat sailors they wouldn't think to let go the sheets.
