Excellent photos thanks.
Like the way they twist off the mains downwind to keep them on their feet. No boom vangs.

That looks like a lot of sail for a little boat!
How hard would they be to handle compared to say my E26?

They have a huge amount of sail area - but are surprisingly stable both upwind and downwind - but that could be because the skill of the crews....
They are pretty fast as well - they look like lots of fun to me...
