Right,, Did not consider that option, driving down is the equivalent maneuver in that case. He may have had a spin too, originally looking at the pictures there was no spin but I saw one that looked as though there were head sails on the leeward sail only. Must be tough to tack and have to furl or take down the jib every time. All sorts of Tech issues with a boat like that.
