Just looked at the pic Nav.
Looks like a typical fleet.
The guys at the front are in good shape, the guys at the back are
looking horrible.
Must be the worst trimmed sails I've seen on those closest boats.
The boat furthest left in the shot must have an Etchells trimmer on
board, high and fast :-)

Also you might notice that the ones who are heeling the most are at the
back of the fleet.

The furthest left boat looks to be reefed down more and has their
traveler down more, and you're right that they are outpointing the others.

Does it make a boat go faster to drag the lifelines in the water?
