It was a bad angle to see what the bowman was doing.

That was slick! Well done.

What he said!

Amazing!

Impressive!

Common leeward rounding error, don’t harden the jib until you’ve turned up to close hauled. Why? Because it slows the bow turning up wind. Let the mainsail work without fighting the jib, especially in a fresh breeze.

Indeed, there is a temptation to trim the jib early while still reaching and before the jib sheet loads up - especially in fresh breeze. Once the boat is up on the wind, trimming is much harder. But as Leonard says, trimming early slows your turn, as you are fighting the jib while trying to turn up. It is better to trim the main aggressively to help head up and follow with the jib. To speed up final trim of the jib the driver can squeezing up just above close-hauled to take some load off the jib sheet.

Sorry, I don't understand if the tac should be hooked with a tylaska and then recovered with the line on the deck, or the line of the tack should be threaded. Can you explain me? Thank tou

The Tack Line remains attached to the tack. The Take Down Line is also attached to the tack. As the crew pull the Take Down Line the Tack Line is eased. The sheet is eased and sail luffed so the crew can pull the sail around to windward.

Bill, you mention the Spin Halyard streaming off starboard quarter? Looks like another line. Is the Spin Halyard streaming forward of the bow slightly to starboard until the foredeck wrestles the chute onto the port windward side? Just a small point of confusion ... love this video!

He means the other end of the halyard. The pit crew feeds the halyard overboard just before the douse. This way there won't be any kinks in the halyard that can get stuck in the stopper.

why did they not start gathering the spinnaker by the sheet? Is it not more difficult trying to drop it from the bow?

@@leftvassis dousing by the sheet mean the tack line must be released, and the spinnaker is in the cockpit. Then you must reinstall tack, halyard, and move the sail forward to relaunch it. Here the spinnaker is ready to hoist again : less work for the crew, less tired, more effective. You could relaunch the spinnaker from the cockpit, but it has a greater chance of getting caught in the rig.

If its called a sheet, then there should be no line after the tack either. When did this change Great video
