That's a lot of weather helm. Looks really fun though!

I don't think that's steady-state weather helm; there's not much fuss & fury following the rudder. I think the tiller is 'up' because the helmsperson is putting the nose down over a wave crest.
I could be wrong though...

I would agree with you Doug. Sailing little boats in waves requires huge weight movements and quick "large" rudder movements at times.

you're probably right, although I think a lot of the fuss around the rudder is hidden behind a wave as well. Like I said, looks like a lot of fun.

it used to be 'pics or it didn't happen!' in 2012 it's 'video or it's photoshopped!'

They were turtled pretty quickly after rounding the windward mark, so no money shot I don't think.
