I agree, Jimmy has gotten much better at putting the bows down to go fast in a puff, rather than pinching up like he was doing early on when they were getting their butts handed to them on every upwind leg.

I don't know if that was because JK was telling him to do that, or if it was just his natural habit from racing monos all his life. Seems Ainslie has it figured out, maybe because in a Laser you need to foot off and go fast, vs. pinching, which in that light boat is certain death. But if it's Ben that's been telling Jimmy where to go (get to the city front for the lift!), and how to go faster (Foot off!) good on him!

What is Slingsby's background? Has he done any cat racing?
