Really showed the importance of weight-on-the-rail ASAP after the bottom mark. Well done. But not sure why the leeward boat was able to surge ahead on the downwind once they had the jib up. Ideas?
Conditions were just right to catch a wave every once in a while for a little bit of surfing. The jib may have given them a little boost but mostly I think that was coincidence. It doesn’t look like much wave action but it is a very light boat and either careful steering or some luck will get you a boost of 1-2kts like that
Moment of acceleration at 1.38, so cool its got on camera
