Jeff,

The crew in the video (I presume you) didn't let the main out ONCE in the upwing footage. In a non race scenario, driving up obviously worked out in keeping the boat upright. In a race situation, however, this is slow as molasses. The crew should be working the main in conjunction with the skipper to keep the boat at an optimal angle of heel at all times (windward hull just kissing the water), which generally equates to best VMG upwind.
