Hi Wouter
I only said they appeared to be low not that they are to low. I came to this (my personal) conclusion whilst watching the Blades at Zandvoort where at times the conditions were extreme for my sailing abilities, mind you having said that I did complete every race (except when I saved Geert) which is more than can be said for the majority of the fleet for one reason or another. Maybe it was just an optical illusion but I do remember seeing the Blades rear beams and tramps frequently ditching in the water more so than my Stealths. It could just be the technique that the other teams adopted to cope with the conditions? In which case I'm correct the rear beams appeared low.
