Picture is from the European championship being sailed in Greece just now. Seeing no less than four Tornado teams go downwind is a surprise. Have they decided that it pays off in a breeze?



Double trapeezing on the Tornado is a real blast, but you are on the egde all the time, much more so than in regular mode.

Trying to lay the windward spacer in lightish breeze would be my guess or a big shift meaning the front boats all over stood the leeward gate?

I hope to find out about double trapping with the Kite on a T in 3 weeks time... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


Difference in track between lead (leeward) boat and windward boats seems too great for leg around spacer mark. Maybe it's just a windshift made them have to sail hot in close competition.
