Well it shows how she does plane a tad nose up and how you need to all move forward a bit, get her over the hump before she really releases, easier on the sea in waves than inland, I'd always felt it, never seen it so graphically exposed.
I've watched it quite a few times, it also shows how loose leech that sail is, as MM points out, lots of kicker needed there. You both looked like you were enjoying it, when can we expect the words? |

When I find the time, TBH!
![]() She does like to go nose up early, even when in relatively light airs (<F3) - we still found that moving 8-12" aft (when in other boats we'd be up by the shrouds) produced a noticeable increase in speed. |

That Solo could have given you a little more room on the mark!

Excellent video! Couple of points, at least you did get room at the mark, pink solo's give loads of room I'm told.
Secondly, was it faster to sail asymmetric style given the course, I half expected to see the swinging pole in action!

So far we've only raced on RTCs courses with the FastH/Cap Fleet, but it will be interesting to go up against the Asymetric Fleet on their W/L course next time out. There is a shot on the vid of us wing/wanging - @ 2.20. When the wind went light we pulled the pole round, but left it straight if there was even a hint of planing(ish). As has been said before, it's a great tool to help soak down for a mark if you've got your angles slightly wrong, rather than double-gybing. |
