Do you control the traveler and the sheets with a single line? I'm learning so much from this video. I have been scrubbing this video like crazy just watching your movements and how you control the sail, move the tiller and position your body.

Never done this before. It looks like a blast. (08:40- ) Why do you have to constantly tug and then let out line on the sail? Is this because you are going up and down waves? Thanks for the exciting video.

In order to keep the boat flat, fast and firing with maximum velocity, it is critical to adjust the mainsheet (power) whilst steering through the wind chop. Glad you liked it, go ahead and give it a go some time!

Well done Patrick 👍😁 I wonder if that little pink pig on the dolphin striker was wishing for a little more downhaul, a little more mast rotation & a little less traveler on the upwind though. 😁. Remember that little pig has been around the block a couple of times but, to be fair, he has never won a world championship. 💕.

The young fella on the helm was barely 61kg back then, don't think I could've had more rotation if I tried (definitely more cunno thought!) Poor little pig is collecting dust in the factory now waiting for her next adventure!

It was a wild day on Jervis Bay that's for sure!
