The wild thing is a down wind technique that was developed by Tornado sailors ( I believe Booth and Forbes) before they had spinnakers. <br>The technique involves the crew trimming from the leeward hull and the skipper sitting about mid tramp. <br>The skipper heads up until the hull is flying and then sails as low as possible with the hull still out of the water. <br>The idea is that you fly a hull and sail under increased apparent wind. Doubly fast. <br>I'm not an expert but that is my take on it.<br><br>
