I guess you would not have overtaken the race leader -look at this:

Great pics. But again.. a special case. Those boats are more like scows.
Besides, for publicity shots they like to heel the boats 'way over.
And the boat in the top pic is certainly not heeling at any great
angle. I
guess you have to be *very* selective in choosing examples that support
your contention?


No, these boats are faster at 30 degrees of heel when beating as I keep
saying. Are your seriously suggesting you are a better racer than
Thiercelin who talk about being at a permanent 40 degree heel?

You are dead wrong on this one -admit it.
