If you can't carry it, don't sail it!

I hope that's not an attempt to a promotional video. Far from making me reach for yards of hi-vis nylon and cut a flat-looking spinnaker for my old shed, I felt vaguely nauseous and reached for the OFF button.
Not before the superb "jibing" though...



Grotesque isn't it.  Soren dismissed it quite succinctly on the forum, as only Soren could!

The Hythe video, if you look closely, features a well know member of this forum out in his previous much loved RS....
the same, but different...

That video seemed to be missing something- the drop. Could be, um, fun.

Interesting technique for the main sheet / tiller. You seem to be really heaving on it but I don't see you easing the sheet at all?

I've sail an F16 once, which I really enjoyed but didn't feel I needed to give it that much grunt on the sheet? And I did need to ease it! Was I missing something? (just so you know I'm 11st wife 8st and son was 3st at the time. With full rig and only me on the wire).

I'm playing the mainsail all the time; it's the only fast way to do it.  It's just not so obvious that I'm letting it out.  I'm sailing with my old sail and so you need to grind it more than the new Piggit mainsail.
