What happened.... looked quite good until the end.....was that due to a harness line "malfunction"

I have been working with the "Elmo" on a gybing mantra of "Must Flip Rig Early".

After that attemp i think it needs rewording to "MUST FLIP RIG"

Had to clean out the car found a disk in it.

found on that disk some of Pepe's camera work from last winter when he was down and out with a busted leg.

Be afraid peoples, Elmo's got video evidence[}:)][}:)][}:)]

Looked at that a few times but can't figure out what went wrong, wouldn't mind a copy of that Elmo.
Must have been a while ago, I'm using the Avalon Sail Company's rehacked 5.5.

That's fantastic guys, makes the doldrums sort of bearable... One day I'll be able to do those laydowns like Slowy

Doing the laydowns is one thing

Then you introduce the slowie special which is a 37knot head high chop hop before laydown
