Thanks for your thoughts, I now have some idea of what we are trying to do.
the boat in the vid is 3-up, what are the crew jobs upwind in a breeze? 1 helming, 1 mainsheeter and the other on the jib?
Whats the way to respond to gusts - just mainsheet or a bit of traveller/jib action too?
I have been lucky enough to do a bit of the Seacart thing,but they are way above my price range. If this weekend goes well, i may be posting to find reasonably priced F27s for sale on the US East coast.
Thanks again

Upwind, helm, main trim, if it's really blowing somebody ready to release the jib (otherwise trimming may be difficult depending on how the boat is set up). If the traveler is like mine not much joy in playing it, better off playing the mainsheet for gusts. If there's a tiller extension helm can be out of the **** as well.
The third crew becomes more helpful in handling the downwind sails, spin sets and douses, trimming, and the like.
