I don't think so...
I've watched a few of his videos,
Imo he needs to use the "cutting room scissors" a bit more

Too long most of the time

Yes I agree I had to post after watching what happened to them when they headed out to sea

Interesting rig on the cat near the start of the video.
sounds like a good idea to have the top of the mast bending off in strong winds, especially on a cat.

Similar to the swing rig I have on my Marblehead, the only difference being the jib on the Marblehead doesn't have a self tacking track.

What is a Marblehead LooseChange? Google only comes up with RC boats.
Is that what it is?

Yes, an RC Yacht sometimes called a 50/800 as it is 50 inches long and has 800 square inches of sail area. When sailed in a club environment the racing gets even more heated than real racing as every race is being fought for sheep stations.

I thought it was a reasonable example of the multiple failures issue and that you need to eliminate as many sources of failure as you can because new issues will always arise. Basically the boat needed better prparation.

Note you can speed youtube up x1.5 or 2 if you are really bored.
