3 TP52 ingarellati in quel di Pta.Ala, tre diverse maniere di andare.

Take a look at the different mainsail trim on the three TP 52's - Bambakou, Lexus and Orlanda (trailing). Lexus' main has an open leech, while Orlanda's looks much tighter and less powered, and the lead boat's looks like a combination of the two behind, although seemingly much more eased.
Interestingly, the spinnakers on Lexus and Orlanda appear to be trimmed the opposite of their mains: Lexus' is more strapped with a closed off head, and Orlanda's eased with an open leech. Different kites, perhaps? Comments?
