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. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2PvV820Qpk 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). |

¨Makes you want to get/build one - doesn't it? Shame the RYA doesn't support them as a class - it would cost less at the Dinghy Show to have a stand.

Surely if they want support, they have to pay affiliation fees like the rest of the racing classes?
