She, she, she.
The helmsman is a girl and she being directed by
a sailmaker who is noted as the professional sailor.
What is wrong with this picture?
And let the wind blow.

I donât think youâre missing anything.
Iâve been trying to understand the comment
that the main being trimmed in tight could have
overwhelmed the steering. I may be missing
something, but 45 years of sailing tells me Iâm not.
Blue was close hauled on STBD, with the main in
tight. That means weather helm or at best
neutral helm. Just 10 or 15 seconds before the
collision you see the helmsman make a big wheel
movement to turn down, which I suspect was to
overcome the weather helm. Had he left the wheel
alone (or made smaller steering correction) the
boat would have come up on her own.
The other comments describing the main
overcoming the steering (and this has probably
happened at one time or another to all of us)
have all described crossing/ducking situations,
when the main caused the boat to turn up when it was undesirable.

Question: didn't think you needed to ease the
main to turn upwind? Am I missing something? Should ease the jib sheet.
