8:05 pretty interesting , you guys didn’t consider broad reaching for more speed and stable hike ? Or maybe the J doesn’t need that ? I sail a seascape 27 on that track it would have been safer to broad roach and jibe if necessary to compensate. Thanks for the videos.
At the time we were not confident putting up the A5. We had 40 knots in the gusts and most boats around had problems with their spinnakers. We’ve since re-designed tha A5/A6 and made it fractional. Next time in similar conditions we’ll have one up 😀
