The fifth video of six of the 2011 International One Metre model yacht world championship that was organised and run by the UK Model Yacht Association in conjunction with the West Kirby Sailing Club on the marine lake.
A Match race between Gibson and Stollery each being bent on finishing ahead of his rival regardless of fleet position. Stollery was hooked on a port tack yachts masthead just after the start but showed remarkable skill in clawing back Gibson to finish.....

I am curious...When on the downwind, going wing and wing, is the jib on a separate sheeting servo or does blanketing it behind the main cause it to gybe?
I could get hooked on this!
