True, which makes it all the more impressive! I guess the expression "chineese gybe" has to come from somewhere <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Seriously, from the other pictures on the event website it looks like there was enough wind to pull it off.

One other thing I noticed on the picture. The hulls look dirty. Dont know if it is something in the water, but it looks like it. It's good to sail in relatively clean, blue, water!


BTW: Here is Bundy and Ashby with the jib uphaul broken..
