ILCA world champion: straight line downwind in breeze

[@comments_msc]

such a well-controlled gybe before the mark

[@ilca_masters]

however, he had to slow down to do it. Maybe he should have gybed earlier. Perhaps he should have been deeper so that he would be less concerned by the buoy, and come out with a tighter upwind

@@MyRUclips.still too high for upwind. The black stoppers aren’t touching the deck.

@@al.sargent You can't see that at all, in the split second that elapses from when he pushes the sword all the way down until the video stops at 2:02
And it is only the last 2 seconds of the video that he sails upwind. In the rest of the video, he is sailing downwind..

[@ilca_masters]

yes definitely, and especially for the rounding. It took Andrew only 18 months from this video to become a world champion. It gives me hope. Are you coming to Skamania? I do not see your name on the signup page. I'll be there. -- pablo
