That sounds like a cool trick. One that will identify you as a real racer to be sure. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
IF both the skipper and crew sit on the bows, the boat will back almost straight down wind. It's a trick we've used for years. Comes in really handy at races when the wind is straight off shore.
