It's tricky to tell which boat had the edge.
I bet the skipper of the Skiff didn't have time to give lessons and do hand-held filming tho'. Nice one Hugh.

I wish I had someone coaching me non stop. Up, up, up, up, up, up. Hold. Down, down, down, down, down, down!, DOWN!, DOWN!!!!

I think a person could get really good in no time.

If you watch it with care, you can see it's a collection of cuts; I've been told it was a promo video and they had to keep asking the T and x40 to come back so they could re-set and line up again.

T was much faster than the 18 on all points of sail; x40 was fatser than the T on all points of sail.

It's not worth it I promise. I have "up" and "off" ringing in my ears for days when I sail with my dad. Things get burned into your head and it's not long until you feel the intuitive urge to jerk the steering wheel "up" to slow the car down and yell starboard at the a**hole trying to cut you off.
