It did seem interesting that Flesh Rocket and the boat behind them were sheeted/traveled out so far. Was this a deep reach angle?
It was pretty much right on the beam sailing up to the card sound bridge. For this reach (on an infusion), my back foot was right in front of the rear beam, the traveler was out about 12 inches, and the main was played in the puffs, daggerboards were up about 10 inches. We were double trapped and HAULIN' IT the whole way up to the bridge. That leg of the race (start to Card Sound Brige) was probably the most fun I have ever had sailing!
