good video, but one more advantage to the letterbox; as the boom is FASTENED to the tack being sailed, to keep the crew safe, there is NO chance of a "Chinese gibe" as the boom is always on the same side as the chute, and no chance of a "power-up" while out of full control.
We primarily use a letter box drop in big winds and when we’re finishing in port and need a quick before hitting the break water.
