Song is "Club-Euro - Insomnia Remix-Techno Dance Hits Mix"

[fredster8]

its not slow in heavy winds becoz it bounces the rig which opens the leech of the main and exhaustes the wind out of it soo it de-powers the rig in heavy airs

[Gettinghitonattheban]

I still have my money on Great Britain to dominate.

[hotdogger420]

Its called leech popping, used to de-power the main in order to keep the boat flat. If you look you will notice dave only does it when the boat begins to heel over.
