The cameraman has something to answer for too, if he didn’t alert his helmsman.

It goes in eventually!

I agree with what you are saying, I’ve never been told about the fourth corner before but it seems to make sense, to control the curve of the top quarter of the sail because this is where the clean air is, but it’s never been explained to me to think of it being a fourth corner. This does make sail trimming clearer, well it does to me!!!!
