Say Rick, have they contacted you for a clinic session yet?

Start 'em out on Waves, move 'em up as they progress!

Seriously, though, Alinghi should have quite a bit of multi guys to help out, given their Lake Geneva campaign. But that seems to be very light air flat water with boats that are optimized heavily for just that set of conditions. So maybe they thought they had more of a handle on it for the lumpy stuff in a big tri - it's usually when you're a nooby but think you're not that the problems hit. I'm not sure if releasing the sails once it's stuffed like would help - the jib might help as you can release it far enough. But the main is the evil sail in this scenario - it's the big sail trying to leverage you end over end, and you can't always release it far enough to save yourself.
