These guys are superbly calm after their rig got destroyed by the elements. Speaks for how much confidence they have in their skills when using the gear. I might even be tempted off the ground by such skill, that’s saying something because I’m old enough now to know that I’m never going to be ok with height.
This is scary as hell from a sailing perspective. Fortunately, I doubt webbing is used much on boats, at least for safety critical uses. The abrasion mitigation to run a fully rigged boat on Dyneema is mind blowing. I’ve got to see how this works.
