I thought all Infusions released the mast-rotator when going downwind?
Maybe the skipper was not paying attention or something! grin

Its a Volvo Penta, so its a marine engine... perfectly legal!

and letting mast rotation go downwind is not always faster, depends on the wind strength.

Pierrick Contin is truly a master of sailing photography. Just look at how precisely most of these shots are framed!

And, you gotta love how low Bundock and Ashby sit on the trapeze. Straight as a broom to boot.

Hopefully the F16 crews pick up on this sooner or later and don't try to sail these boats at the Alter cup as if they are Inter-20's ! grin
