right at the start, Nathan and Pete are getting on the rail - we still have Mark trimming the jib and JF at the bow telling the driver to slow down or accelerate based on the distance to the line - indicates the distance with one hand in boat-lengths Nathan moves fast and jumps on the rail - how fast you can jump on the rail makes a big difference. 2 people on the rail - Nathan and Pete we are starting, just before the gun, 3 people on the rail last person is also jumping up we have started
