Keep up to date with this intense Cat Raid race using their 15 min updated GPS tracking service. The leaders of leg 2 have just finished.

What it may lack in surf starts is certainly made up for in navigational expertise or rock avoidance.

Not tieing down the mainsail when furling it, also not taking main halyard off.

That has definite spinnaker possibilities, with a few more lines attached here and there. Could have been the first fully-battened spinnaker. grin And I'm not sure I am really kidding. Maybe you are onto something new here.
