ARC Rally sailing across the Atlantic downwind with twin headsails

Sailing downwind for days on end as we cross the Atlantic Ocean. We are participating in the ARC - the Atlantic rally for Cruisers. An excerpt from the Distant Shores sailing adventure TV series. We're using both headsails out wing-and-wing. One is poled out using our Selden carbon fibre pole. the Carbon pole is much lighter than one made from aluminum.
