Do you think they recovered from the knock-down at 4:00? Or did they end up like Captain Calamity in the other video? |

This is one of my favs as well. I love the jumps. Question: At 1:06 the skipper appears to be "pumping" the main sheet, the sheet doesnt seem to get longer so I am not sure if he is using the ratchet. What is he doing and what equipment allows him to do it? |

The sheet isn't getting longer, he doesn't have it cleated. He is letting out 8-12 in of main sheet and then bringing it back in. In theory it is supposed to release built up back pressure on the inside of the mainsail, allowing you to accelerate a little. Ive played with it some, but it wore me out after a while and I didn't notice a diffrence. |
