You shouldn't say something because you don't have the whole story. (of course, this has never stopped me)

Those poor chaps could have had PERFECT sail trim for the whole race EXCEPT at that moment, and some group of armchair commodores are gonna bust their balls about it?

Sorry but if I want advice on sail trim, I'll ask for it from those whose opinions I respect. Certainly not from a snotty self-proclaimed know-it-all who, if you lined up his pontification from period to period would stretch for more miles than he has on "homebuilt" F16.
