SHould be able to get down to one and a half boat lengths or
thereabouts. Watch out on the jibes though. I was never stupid
enough to attempt it on Flying Tadpole II, Lady Kate's ballast is
reassuring. Make sure you're not doing it publicly when the
traveller lets go...in a gentle breeze, it's a great way of
holding position while waiting for the other boats to catch up.

If he goes out and hurts himself it's going to be all your fault, Tim.
