If it was a bet, wouldn't the tri put up ALL of its sail?

Watch closely, and you'll see that the tri is on the verge of flying its main hull. In a couple of spots, you can see air under the full length of it. As such, more sail would probably not be faster but would just cause more hull-flying.

sail fast
