They had 270 boats at the start yesterday. I Bet Jim Cate was up on
the topsail of the Elissa. She had all her top sail out at the start..
15-20 gusting to 30, but about 17:00 the wind stopped and it's been
dead since. ....
Here's the procedure and series of commands entailed in tacking the Elissa:
1. Stand by to come about
2. Helm a'lee
3. Spanker amidships
4. Ease headsail sheets
5. Rise tacks and sheets on the Fore
6. Rise tacks and sheets on the Main
7. Back the headsails
8. Mainsail haul
9. Slack away the spanker sheet
10. Shift the headsail sheets
11. Shift the staysail sheets
12. Let go and haul
13. Rudder amidships
14. Set the Mainsail
15. Helm full and by
16. Set the foresail

Looks as if it was a one tack race...
