Hey there "mast climber";

I posted that pic to hear the various sailor's comments. And, it is a pretty neat shot. I emailed JC (crew in pic) and asked him about the technique.

They were just haming it up. He stated that the "windage" issue is secondary to "hull trim". The lee hull is being pushed in too deep. Also, the Tornados have a 6 knot min. wind speed to race.

See you at the CSWY.
