Sharpies in 25 knots

At the East Fremantle Sailing Club Saturday race.
Gusting up to 25 knots - perfect Sharpie weather.

A great video thanks.
A question, why aren't the skipper and crew(sheet hand) hiking out? They just seem to be sitting on the rail. They have toe/hiking straps but don't seem to be using them? 🤷‍♂

Good question ......... that area the wind is up and down due to surrounding hills .......... could be they were allowing the forward hand do the balancing ...........

Agree with the lack of hiking. What's with the dacron sails - rule change?
