Roger Phillips and Will Crocker
Profile:
I was initially dubious about getting an 800, and Will definitely pushed me into it saying “it’ll be just like the 29er” – these suspicions were only re-enforced when on the first time we launched, I had fallen through the main before we even tacked. My trapezing has got better since then, but some would say only marginally!
Tips:

Never give up, the crew is the tactician and read ‘Fast Handling Techniques’ by Bethwaite (ch 14 if you can’t face the whole book).
