Secret J/Boat Speed Sailing Trick
This image that showed up in Sailing Anarchy (Simon, sailingimages.net.au) seems to show some sort of secret J/Boat sailing technique. Maybe some of the J/24 sailors we know can explain this trick -- it seems to have something to do with expanding the wetted surface and working waterline of a J/boat. Or does maybe it have something to do with modifying rudder response or fixing problems with a J/24 center of effort versus center of lateral resistance?

In New Jersey it's called bumper skiing, but it's usually with a car on a snowy night.
Here's the real link, showing that this sailor was in the water for some time, seemingly at the indifference of skipper and crew. Cold enough for most of them to wear windbreakers. Go figure! Those Aussies.......
Just saw that picture. However don't have any idea about J/Boat sailing technique but here by seeing above comments I am getting the meaning.
Keep sharing such good stuff..
