Herby and Maddie sail downwind from Beaufort, NC to Oriental, NC through narrow stretches of the ICW where they talk about a cheater trick to make downwind sailing a breeze. Putting a twist in the main makes the leech fall to windward and turns the top part of the sail against the rigging to make it a downwind powerhouse while still keeping the boom sheeted in centerline.
