Energy Team flipped pre-start and righted in less than 3 minutes - using a water-start technique. I was impressed.


Have any of you tried this righting method? It looked like a support boat towed them from the bows and the sail just flew the mast out of the water. Most boat-assists I've seen pull perpendicular to the hulls to right the boat.

It was very impressive to see this monster boat get righted in only minutes and sail on to finish the race. Calm management, either by cat crew or support boat.
