Blog » See coach! It is possible to be bow up downwind,- even when it's light!!

Great technique being shown here by Adam & Ed last Sunday at Parkstone. See the way the main outhaul is lightly eased off to give max power; the way Adam is showing total main sheeting angle control with a direct bypass of the mainsheet; the perfect slot twixt main and jib; Ed looking upwind for where the next is coming from (that's where it does come from on these fast assymetrics you know; Kite sheet eased to the point of luff curl but not overly so on the edge that speed is lost with non stop trimming, the speed is great that the wake is reduced to a mere ripple as the hull just skims the surface - and the result of course that the Rib is being left for dead... Pure adrenaline! (Thanks Niall for the photo)
