Thought I'd share some video I took from the weekend. This was at the Duck Cup in the Outer Banks, it's a little distance race held every June in Duck NC

I'm 110% there is plenty to "critique" as I've only been sailing for 2 1/2 years hahaha

I must say you guys have a special starting technique... :-)

On day 1 I would recommend:
upwind
- weight a lot more to the front
- mast rotation more open
- maybe more sheet tension (difficult to see)
downwind
- weight more to the front (sail the boat bow down in flat waters (at least it is the case for the Falcon)).

Day 2
seems pretty ok

Regards,
Gill
