Looking for a Job, I got credi... | I little searching around should find you a software hack for most DVD's, if not, you might need a small hardware update. My Arcam (top British make) DVD is software encoded and so I've just set it up to play all regions  A quick google will usually find the hack codes.

| Got mine yesterday via Multihulls World - very cool. Plays fine on my Dell laptop.
But I have a question...There is a segment in the section on Sailing Upwind (Advanced Technique - Beating), where Emmanuel Boulogne (or at least the English voice-over) uses a word that I just don't recognize.
For example, starting from about 7:50 :
"The less wind there is the more speed you need because ____ing when there is no wind is very, very bad".
To my ear, the word sounds like "capping", and it is used repeatedly over the next minute or so.
Maybe it's the accent that's tripping me up, or maybe it's just a term I haven't run into before. Can someone tell me what this is?

US Western Continental Shelf | "The less wind there is the more speed you need because ____ing when there is no wind is very, very bad". I can guess at what it 'should' say. "Pinching" or "Feathering" when there is no wind is very, very bad. Other possible words to fill in the blank: crapp flapp napp clapp pitch pol stall gass suck blow eat drink stall float bobb paddl breath inflat stopp luff eat dismast starv drink fish barf GARY

South Carolina | Yeah - I am pretty sure he is saying "capping". I too have been wondering exactly what they mean by this. I kind of think that he means "jumping" the wave...but then that definition sort of falls through with some of their use of the term.

Essex, UK | The word used is 'capping' and I've heard the French use the word before. It means pinching as in pointing too high.
